I've seen plenty of drunk people before, but the fact that the guy was so incapacitated yet still believed he could move around okay is unreal. I wish they had audio of his conversation with the store clerk. By the way, the best part is at the end when you realize it all took place in broad daylight. Yikes.

That youtube video you linked to doesn't include the best part, which is Vern standing on his little scooter, butt naked, and pissing in the corner of the room. That definitely beats the guy in the convenience store (though to be fair, it only took Vern like one beer and a thimble-full of Jager to get that bombed). When that first aired, my buddy and I kept comparing it to what would happen if a baby raided his parents' liquor cabinet. Also, that creepy squealing he does in the bed still gives me nightmares.

I witnessed a woman at .47 blood alcohol drive her car through the front window of a day care, adjacent to a party store. She was on her way to get more wine. Thankfully no one was injured.

I have an aunt who oversees a bunch of people in the drug/alcohol counseling field and those folks can tell some unbelievable stories with respect to blood alcohol levels. I also think some of the BAC calculations put out (super drunk at X level, pass out at X level, die at X level) are based on the average person, whereas the hardened alcoholics who end up with these super high BAC numbers have developed a much greater tolerance over the years. I remember one story of a guy calmly checking himself into the hospital (speaking coherently and filling out forms) and when they called his name he had died with a BAC in the .5 range. It takes a lifetime of self abuse to get to that tolerance level, but it happens more often than we'd all like to think.

very good point except it occured during the afternoon, the woman at the day care said, normally kids would have been playing up by the window but they had laid them down for a nap. After the incident large cement barriers were put in front of the parking spaces facing the day care I don't think the woman has/had any memory of the accident. I was the 2nd person to get to her car as the front 1/4 of the car lay inside the day care. Ironically the first person to get to the car was a doctor, a very brave act on her part. She had to open the driver side door, put the car in park and turn off the key while the drunk woman tried to back out of her predicament.

The security video was taken on October 6 at about 10:50 in the morning. The YouTube video is about three minutes long. I'm giving you three minutes instead of four because that's what is in the original post. Assuming the security video was posted to YouTube immediately upon completion, you've only had time to watch the video approximately 6900 times. Either you've got 144 computers on all of which you watch this video simultaneously, or I'm calling shenanigans.

The last time I was that drunk (I don't think I was actually THAT drunk) was my friend's bachelor's party and we ended up being escorted back up to our rooms by a security guard with a stun gun (or so I heard) I loathed life. I swore to myself never drink again. I turns out I lie to myself a lot.

Over the summer I got drunk at a party even though I had to work at 8 AM the next morning. Outside. On the hottest day of 2009 (~110). I spent the worst 8 hours of my life at work swearing I'd never drink again. Three months later I have not broken this promise to myself. I think anyone who experiences a hangover like that one would have an easy time drinking a lot less.

...in '07 the day we lost to Oregon. That was, of course, the week after The Horror. I was surrounded by Sparties. There was an open bar. I made this guy look mildly buzzed.

When I was younger I used to like to take part in the odd abuse of alcohol. I have been quite loaded numberous times and been around people that looked like the walking dead, but this seems staged to me. As drunk as I have been I have never had difficulty getting from my back to my front/knees/hands and knees/feet/back on my ass. This guy couldn't get off his ass, and that just doesn't seem realistic to me. A lot of this video makes me question its authenticity, but that is the point at which I call bull shit.
