How can ANYONE function with a BAC of 0.29? That is ridiculous…….
Oh and I forgot one thing: The Game
bad rapper
What about 50 Cent? Do you not think he’s a great rapper?
you’re gay
Wow duck, what a “great” comeback! Hahahaha
You’re great! LOL!
no he’s not
he’s great!
For a rapper he’s good, with that said there’s a reason why rappers aren’t considered musicians but artists…
Some “famous” guy was recently arrested for driving with the same BAC.
Charlie Sheen? (please let it be him; Two and a Half Men sucks)
Miguel Cabrera, I believe.
never heard of him
Me neither. But I read about it on another blog. Apparently he (Miguel) said to the cop who pulled him over, “don’t you know who I am?”
So apparently we should have heard of him.
or he was pretending to be famous
or…
ht tp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miguel_Cabrera
Poor guy thought he was famous but he was only part of the Detroit Tigers…
Drunk dialing the cops, smooth move!
Who you gonna call? DRUNKBUSTERS!
at least he wasn’t driving to try and find his car…
what a waste of tax dollars, sending out an officer to assist with the recovery of a phone.

I live in Jackson and read this in our newspaper today. Pretty funny to see it on here.
Fun
I suspect that many functional alcoholics can function at that level. It explains many things, like Parliament, Congress, The Senate, Television.
I thought BAC was measured in “per mille” and not “percent”. wouldn’t 0,29% kinda kill you? wouldn’t that be the bigger fail?
Blood Alcohol Content?
yeah I think, I’m Swedish so I might have gotten that wrong ;D. the headline states he had a BAC of 0,29% so either he’s Iron Mans’ secret brother Iron Liver or somethings f-ed up :/
0.29% can indeed be fatal to quite a lot of people. If someone is still conscious at 0.29%, then they seriously need some help to quit drinking.
The breath tests measure as high as 0.40%, but some people who manage to remain conscious and standing exceed even that much. It’s very rare, but it happens.
0.29% is actually less than a third of a percent. What they meant to say is just 0.29 which is a significantly high BAC. And yes, a BAC of 0.29 can kill you. It depends on the person really.
They don’t mean to say “just 0.29″. BAC is measured as a percent. When they wrote 0.29 percent, they meant 0.29 percent. Sure, it may be less than one third of a percent, but that much alcohol in your blood is still dangerously high.
ok, now I’m on board…I miscalculated and got it to 29 per mille. 2,9 per mille could be lethal but isn’t exactly comparable with 29
0,29% would not only kill you but also ensure that you stay preserved for future generations to study your fail.
I read about a guy that “won” a darwin award that way.
Most likely they mean 0,29%%.
That would be 0.029 per mille…
0.29% is 0.29 hundredth, or 0.0029, or 2.9‰.
0.29%% is one-hundredth of 0.29 hundredth, or 0.0029%, or 0.029‰.
That’s about as much as you’d get from eating a praline with liquor in it…
0.29%? Why did they bother to mess with him? He was practically sober!
Hepl! I caannnot ffind teh aad commment btuuon
This has to be a mistake.
90% of all human beings get unconscious by 0.05% (5 per mil)
You die at around 0.12%
The world records (conscious human being) is around 0.09% (I think it was 8.8 per mil).
0.29% is definitely not possible.
Well 0,05% is like almost 1 beer. Guess 90% of all human beings is pretty weak then.
Is it just me or are some people here really that stupid? Blood alcohol levels are measured in percentages. The .xx is the percentage of alcohol in the blood… if you’re at .29 then it’s 29%, not .29%.
Also, to the idiot saying that people die at .09% (I believe this is you I’m replying to) – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content
Wiki may not always be accurate, but .08 is legally intoxicated in MANY areas. Anything under that is legal. SO your bs about people dying at .09 is WRONG.
I believe this problem originates from a deep misunderstanding of what “percent” and “per mil” stand for. Some people seem to think that they’re scientific units, similar to kph/volt/etc.
Which then makes them unable to realise that:
0.029=2.9%=29‰, or the like.
So yeah, I think it’s because many people can’t think logically and disliked math/science at school.
Maybe some people are stupid here, but you’re also wrong if you say:
“Blood alcohol levels are measured in percentages.” That may be true in America. In Europe it is mostly measured in “pro mille” which translates to “per thousand”. I think this was the reason for some misunderstandings here like Voij also pointed out.
the limit for driving is .08 …you really think they’d make that the limit if 90% of people were already unconscious by that point?
You are an idiot.
You’re wrong. Completely wrong… 0.88% would be 8.8g per 100 mil. The US national limit is 0.08% which is when you start feeling buzzed. 0.29% is highly possible, just have like 8 shots of whiskey if you’re a smaller person. I think that you are thinking of 2.9% being impossible because you might be right.
Wow, someone got drunk. That’s epic.
Actually, no, it’s not. What’s wrong with this site?
I recently knew of a guy who got his fifth DUI in SoCal with a BAC of .412!!! I always thought that would mean he would’ve been legally dead, but he was alive and crashed into a parked car half a block from his house.
Wow, are there really THIS many people who don’t understand basic math?
Incredible fail to the writer of the article, too.
In the United States, the legal limit is 0.08% BAC by weight. In other words, for a given volume of blood, 0.08% of the weight is ethanol alcohol and 99.92% of the weight is plasma, red blood cells, etc.
Only 7% of the alcohol you drink ends up in your bloodstream. You cannot have a BAC of .412; that would mean that three or four tenths of your blood is literally pure alcohol. Since the average human has around 5 quarts of blood, you would have to drink 20 gallons of pure vodka in order to raise your BAC to 0.412. In contrast, you need to drink around a fifth of liquor to raise your BAC to 0.412 %.
