Watson, Crick & A Twist
How this woman is alive is probably a medical mystery - she registered 0.47 on a Breathalyzer test.

Generally accepted lethal limit for alcohol in half the population is 0.40 (LD50).

A woman arrested following two car crashes last week registered a .47 blood-alcohol content on a breath test ? nearly six times the legal intoxication threshold and possibly a state record.
Deana F. Jarrett, 54, was taken to Evergreen Hospital as a precaution following her arrest April 11, the Washington State Patrol said Wednesday. No one was injured in the accidents.
Jarrett blew the .47 on a portable breath tester after she collided with two other vehicles in quick succession, the patrol said. A check of all 356,000 breath tests administered since 1998 in Washington turned up only 35 above .40 ? and none of those was higher than .45.
The legal intoxication threshold in Washington is .08.
Jarrett did not appear to have a listed phone number, and it was not clear if she had obtained a lawyer.

A former Seattle police officer returned the highest blood-alcohol reading ever recorded by a Washington state driver, and she was charged with driving under the influence Wednesday.

Deana F. Jarrett, of Woodinville, registered a 0.47 percent blood-alcohol reading after striking two cars April 11, said Trooper Jeff Merrill, public-information officer for the State Patrol. The legal limit in Washington is 0.08 percent.

A blood-alcohol level above 0.40 percent is potentially lethal.

wow, that's crazy, how was she even conscious!?!?...I registered a .33 once after a day long binge with Ice House. There is a story to go along with this, but I'm fearful that it will reveal my secret identity :paranoid:

Just substitute your Dad for you in the story and I'm sure we'll all get into it. :)

haha, good call...my dad did have a blood gas level of .45 when we had carbon monoxide in our house. He almost didn't wake up when the furnace guy came to check things out. Pretty scary stuff. I had a .12 blood gas, and my mom was over .2. My dad shouldn't be among the living, but he's still alive and kicking, and still letting sweet ones fly
