SD authorities say driver's blood alcohol was .708

RAPID CITY, S.D. – South Dakota authorities say a woman found passed out in a stolen delivery van earlier this month registered a blood alcohol content of .708 — nearly nine times the legal limit and a possible record for the state.

Meade County State's Attorney Jesse Sondreal said Wednesday that 45-year-old Marguerite Engle was found slumped over the van's steering wheel along a highway on Dec. 1.

He says the highest blood alcohol content state chemists he spoke with could recall was a .56. The state's legal limit is .08.

Authorities say Engle missed an initial court hearing Dec. 15, but that they found her Monday in another stolen vehicle, and that she had been drinking.

She was being held on two counts of driving under the influence. It wasn't immediately clear if she was facing other charges.

Her attorney declined comment.

I'm building a shrine to this womans tolerance. Holy bat sh!t. I thought i was tough. I clock a .39 once. I'm sure I've had higher but I was passed out LOL.

So, does that mean her blood/alcohol ratio was 70% alc/blood resp? Can't be???

.7 of one percent I guess.

No it would be what the numbers are.

.708% of her blood was alcohol.

Just wasted!!!

.7 should be legally dead. A lawyer could get her off by claiming a false reading.

 

[03darkshadow]

she put most of us to shame... wow.

 

[Perlmudder]

she took gbgh to a whole new level!

 

[Cash Bar]

And I'm willing to bet she was a tad over 5'1" and 80 lbs.

Can you imagine the amount of alcohol it takes to get that drunk when you're probably like 5'5" and 220lbs?

I mean, it IS S. Dakota.

Yep, .708% or less than 1% is the way to think of it. But, almost 3/4 of 1% is dead in every thing I've ever read.

Effects at different levels;

Unless a person has developed a high tolerance for alcohol, a BAC rating of 0.20% represents very serious intoxication (most first-time drinkers would be unconscious by about 0.15%), and 0.35% 0.40% represents potentially fatal alcohol poisoning.[1] 0.40% is the accepted LD50, the dose that is lethal for 50% of adult humans.[2] There have been cases of people remaining conscious at BACs above 0.40%[3], as is standard for a level which is fatal for only 50% of the population.

There is no evidence of any increase in risk up to a BAC of 0.05%

With that much alcohol in your bloodstream it's hard to see how you could get enough oxygen to survive. unreal.

I do keep an oxygen concentrator next to the bed. Gets rid of a hangover in 15-20 minutes
