Quote:
Driver has 18 times legal alcohol limit
By Liudas Dapkus, Associated Press Writer | May 23, 2006

VILNIUS, Lithuania --Lithuanian police were so astonished when they pulled over a truck driver and his breathalyzer test registered 18 times the legal alcohol limit, they thought their testing device must be broken.

It wasn't.

Police said Tuesday 41-year-old Vidmantas Sungaila registered 727 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliters of blood repeatedly on different devices when he was pulled over for driving his truck down the center of a two-lane highway 60 miles from the capital, Vilnius on Saturday.

Lithuania's legal limit is 40 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood.

"This guy should have been lying dead, but he was still driving. It must be an unofficial national record," Saulius Skvernelis, the director of the national police traffic control service, told the AP. "He was of high spirits and grinning the whole time he was questioned."

Medical experts say anything above 3.5 grams per liter of alcohol in the blood is lethal for most people.

"A person this intoxicated should be in an intensive care unit, not behind the wheel," said Tautvydas Zikaras, head of the dependence illness center in the country's second-largest city, Kaunas. Zikaras said he had never heard or read of someone being so drunk.

Sungaila, who was slapped with a 3,000 litas ($1,110) fine and the loss of his license for up to three years, told police he had been drinking the night before and tried to freshen up by downing a pint of beer for breakfast.

Lithuania has one of the worst road safety records in the European Union. Last year, 760 people died in traffic accidents in this country of 3.5 million residents. Most were alcohol-related.

We have shitloads of Lithuanian immigrants in our country since the EU accession and they're all killing each other on the roads. Drink driving seems to be endemic with them. At least in Ireland we don't bother driving when we've consumed our habital should-be-fatal amounts of alcohol.

Responsible Irish Drivers.

I myself have never been drunk. I always quit drinking the second I feel my senses are operating below 100 % performance.

Drink driving used to be a real problem here in Aus.......not no mo' it ain't (that is, not a huge problem.  It's still an issue.  I once watched a court in which a man was driving an unregistered car without a license (taken away after three drink driving offences) drunk, and his excuse was he had to see his mother in hospital because it was Christmas........it was New Year's Day )

the best hangover cure is to have a small drink the next day it takes the edge off

Theres no real cure, but you can do a lot to make them not so bad...vitamin-rich food for dinner before drinking (or fish'n'chips + a Vitamin B pill )...after your night/morning out, drink a lot of water before you go to bed...take shit as soon as possible after waking up, coffee, a small meal...

Beer for breakfast is for pussies.

Whiskey for breakfast is for real men.

The two things that actually do something are:

1)  Food: Eat immediately before/while drinking, it absorbs some of the alcohol and stops it from getting into your blood

2)  Drink lots of water:  You'll still be pissed, but it will stop a hangover, which is largely dehydration.

Alcoholics do.  And thefunny thing is, if you're a serious alky, the alcohol has less effect on making you drunk than it does for a normal person, so the people you see drinking Special Brew or White Lightning in the park will never be as pissed as an average person gets on a friday night binge session.

Number one is wrong.

Eating will slow the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream. You will still get pissed, but not as fast.

Tis full of vitamins and dioralytes, so it rehydrates you pretty well as you sleep, then wake up to a decent fryup and you're sorted

Here's a thought ... do you wanna know why you sometimes get a sore head after getting buckled the night before? The dehydrating effect of the alcohol absorbs water from all over your body, including your brain. This shrinks the brain and stretches blood vessels connecting your brain to other internal surfaces!!!

touche...

ive seen family cars bulging with eastern europeans.. 5 seater cars with 10 people in, no seatbelts, no working lights, rust everywhere, and they invariably travel as fast as their shitboxes will take them, regardless of speed limits.
