Woman’s blood-alcohol level was seven times the legal limit

A woman was taken to an Athens hospital this week with a blood-alcohol level of .566, well above the legal limit for driving, the Athens Banner-Herald reported.

The 30-year-old was carried unconscious into the emergency room at St. Mary’s Hospital by an unidentified man, the paper reported. The man said he found the woman lying partially naked at The Lodge at Athens on North Avenue, according to an Athens-Clarke County police report.

“I think most people would consider that a medical emergency,” Georgia State Patrol Sgt. John Cronin, a DUI task force member, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “She especially pickled herself.”

Cronin’s unit covers metro Atlanta, and he said he’s “never heard of (a blood-alcohol level) close to that.”

but that sort of thing takes many years of practice and isn't anything to aspire to. I've also seen neophytes on their 21st birthday getting brought in comatose and needing dialysis to clear the alcohol.

Now tell me again why pot's illegal?
