Have fun back in prison, Larry.

 

Man, a .48. How do you get that drunk?

 

I thought .40 was dead.

 

Intravenous drip of absinthe.

 

This guy was impressed:

"Wow!" was the reaction of Dr. James Langenbucher, an associate professor with the Center of Alcohol Studies at Rutgers University. "That's what we call an 'LD-50' -- a level that's above the lethal dose for 50 percent of the population."

 

it is according to the washington state patrol. that's one hell of a solid blow.

 

I think it's great they have terms for this type of thing.

 

I think he was drinking with Dana Jacobsen.

 

Thinking about it for a second, and please someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't 0.48 mean the guys blood was practically 50-50 blood and alcohol?

 

I'm willing to bet I could do it. But I certainly wouldn't drive.

 

Hell, he was drunker than that when he pitched for the Cubs.

 

I think it's safe to say that it's generally not a good thing when a doctor says "Wow" about you.
