SOFIA, BULGARIA - Bulgarian doctors tested a man's blood-alcohol level five times before accepting it was 0.914 – nearly twice the amount considered to be life-threatening.

The 67-year-old man landed in hospital on Dec. 20 after a car knocked him off his feet in the southern Bulgarian city of Plovdiv, police and doctors said Tuesday.

A breath test indicated blood-alcohol levels so high that police thought their equipment was broken, because the man remained conscious and talked with them.

The head of Plovdiv police, Col. Angel Rangelov, said five separate lab tests taken the same day confirmed the man's blood-alcohol level of 0.914.

A blood-alcohol level of 0.55 is considered potentially fatal.

In comparison, the Bulgarian man's level was more than 11 times higher than the legal blood-alcohol limit for drivers in Canada, which is 0.08.

The man, who has not been identified, was reported to be in stable condition after being treated for head injuries.

Post of the day! :lol:

I told a friend about this.

"I found out something funny today. Some guy had a blood-alcohol level of 0.914. That's crazy. 0.55 is the amount that can kill you."
"Isn't 0.5 the legal amount you can drink in Australia?"
"No, that's 0.05."
"Oh."

My bet is with a BAC that high, he isn't going to have a hangover because he never stops drinking. It takes a long time to build up that much tolerence for alcohol. That and it's incredibly stupid. My wife is an ER nurse and they had a guy with a .54 BAC (still walking an cooperative) brought in and they thought that was high.
 
.914 thats just impossible to comprehend. That is years and years of hardcore commitment to be able to sustain that much alcohol. Most people blackout or pass out before they hit .28 :dopey:
