Coming home, there was a report on the radio ... up in Kassel, Police stopped a 65+ year old man on a Moped for not wearing a helmet ... While he didn't show any signs of DUI, they smelt alcohol and tested him ... while he said he hadn't drank anything in the last 10 hours, they measured 5,01 0/00 alcohol!!! He should have been close to dead with that amount ....

Outch.
I worked some time in a hospital and there were several people with alcohol-numbers like 4.X, I heard once about a 5.0, too.
Some of them also still drove their car and the police just caught them by accident, because they were so used to alcohol that they still drove quite normal...
I think it takes years of alcoholism even just to survive such a high level.

5.0 % that is about as much is in American beer. He had some Ice House in his vains.
This just makes the fact that I need to train harder, to be a drunk, all too clear.

what got women to do with it...
could understand if one tight you up in the corner and made a strip in the other corner that you'd start to drink... instead.

Hey, that is where our town drunk is from. Frank always comes over when there is a BBQ going on, and he brings his own beer. I think his mother or sister owns the getrankemarkt just down the street.

...knew a russian he drank about everything from antifreeze to methanol.
we found out because certain bottles out of the hazardous storage always changed from full or residues to empty...
