SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) - Incredulous doctors made five blood tests on a drunken man to confirm he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.914, far above the usual life-threatening range, police and doctors said Tuesday.

The 67-year old man, whose name was not released, was hospitalized Dec. 20, when a car knocked him down on a street in the southern Bulgarian city of Plovdiv.

A breath test showed an incredibly high blood alcohol level, but police officers thought the result was inaccurate because the man was conscious and talked with them, said Col. Angel Rangelov, head of police in Plovdiv.

Laboratory analysis of five subsequent blood samples taken the same day confirmed that the man had had a blood-alcohol level of 0.914, Rangelov said. A blood-alcohol level of 0.55 is usually considered life threatening.

The man was reported in stable condition after treatment for head injuries.

That's impressive. Talking, walking upright (before getting knocked down by a car at least). And nearly a 1% B.A.C. I'm quite glad I don't have that kind of tolerance... Can you imagine how expensive it is for that guy to get drunk on a regular basis?

I do believe you're not invincible nor impervious to danger until you hit the 1.0 mark. Until then, it goes by level. Sooo, if you have a 0.01, you'll probably kill yourself if you fall down. Better to blitzed and bulletproof, than sober and susceptable is what I always say!!
