Holy stumbler, Batman! State police say they arrested a man early Tuesday whose blood alcohol level was 0.491 percent - the highest ever recorded in Rhode Island for someone who wasn't dead.
I went to a couple of blood alcohol level calculator sites to figure out how many beers I'd have to drink to reach .491, and I couldn't get an answer. They wouldn't let me input that many.
