No, not a .0708, a .708. And she is still alive.. I've been pretty drunk before, but this....

It takes a lifetime of systematic hard drinking to build up that kind of tolerance. My dear departed drunken grandfather started drinking like a pro at around age ten. This woman must have started shortly after she was out of diapers.

As an alcoholic, let me say that I am in awe. Before I got sober, I would be willing to bet that I would have blown a .50 on several occasions, and that damn near killed me. Nothing like this woman.
I wonder if the cold in Rapid City had anything to do with it? I just moved to Iowa, and the cold slows you down, big-time. Maybe she wasn't metabolizing it fully yet, or something.
I hope the poor woman gets into AA before she dies. Alcohol has several ways of taking you down, ranging from slow-and-fairly-ugly to dead-before-you-hit-the-floor.

I spoke about this with a Sheriff's Captain I know. He said he has seen coroner reports of high blood levels in people who drank themselves to death, but has never seen a live person achieve better than a .50. This would indeed require some training.

Or car smashes into something at high speed. Just hope it isn't another car.
