I don't know whether to spit on this guy or bow before him:
Lithuanian police were so astonished when they pulled over a truck driver and his breathalyzer test registered 18 times the legal alcohol limit, they thought their testing device must be broken. It wasn't.
Police said Tuesday 41-year-old Vidmantas Sungaila registered 7.27 grams per liter of alcohol in his blood repeatedly on different devices when he was pulled over for driving his truck down the center of a two-lane highway 60 miles from the capital, Vilnius on Saturday.
In most states, .08 is the illegal blood alcohol level. For me (190 pound male), that's about five beers over the course of an hour, depending on things like food intake and alcohol level of the beer. Assuming Lithuanian legal alcohol limits are similar (and I have no idea if they are) and this guy weighs about 190 pounds, that means he had the equivalent of about 72 beers. Can't be. Then again, the article said he was twice the lethal limit, and you don't die from 25 beers.
Needless to say, he was drinking more than just beer. I don't think it's physically possible to drink 50+ beers quickly enough to get that drunk, unless you use a beer bong. But if a guy funneled that much beer that quickly, he would explode.
