I Ain't Drunk -- I've Just Been Drinking!

From the SF Chronicle:

State police say they arrested a man early Tuesday whose blood alcohol level was 0.491 percent — the highest ever recorded in Rhode Island for someone who wasn't dead.

Stanley Kobierowski was taken to a hospital, put in the detoxification unit and sedated, said Maj. Steven O'Donnell. He was arraigned Tuesday on charges of driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest, and he was released after promising to appear Friday at a court hearing....
The legal limit in Rhode Island is 0.08. A level of 0.30 is classified as stupor, 0.4 is comatose and 0.5 is considered fatal, according to the health department.

My guess if this guy ever sobers up and gets a lawyer he should have no trouble getting off. Clearly the breathalyzer reading was off or how could he have been driving if he was just between the levels of comatose and dead.

BTW it's Albert Collins in the YouTube clip.
