    Woman ties BAC record with .50 reading

    Another step forward for gender equality...

    http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/...n2963807.shtml

    A Pierce County woman apparently tied a record for the amount of alcohol in her blood when the Washington State Patrol toxicology lab measured a blood-alcohol content of 0.50 two hours after she was arrested for investigation of drunken driving.

    Ann Marie Gordon, manager of the lab in Seattle, said the reading _ more than six times the legal limit of 0.08 _ tied the highest level ever found by technicians at the patrol's lab. A King County driver also registered 0.50 on a blood test in 2000, Gordon said.

    "It certainly would kill many people," she said.

    The average blood-alcohol content of drunken drivers stopped in Washington is about 0.15, Gordon added.

    Rebecca G. Lingbloom, 45, pleaded not guilty....
    I just love that she pleaded not guilty, too...

    I guess Lou Piniella was wrong. She could manage the Cardinals.

    Our women here in WA can drink:


    http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/...irecord22.html

    "In April, ex-Seattle Police Detective Deana Jarrett's blood-alcohol concentration registered 0.47 when she was stopped by police in Redmond, according to court documents. She is currently at a Kirkland alcohol treatment facility."

    The bar can't be raised too much higher though.

    Wow, I never knew they kept a record book for such things. How well does she drink in the clutch?

    She's a wuss, strictly second-rate.

    How about a jersey with the name "LINGBLOOM" and the number "0.5"

    Edit: Oops, got the name wrong the first time.

    You probably have to be an alcoholic to ingest that much without, uh, purging.

    Technically, "only" 1 proof. (1/200th alcohol = 1 proof.)
