The BAC limit

A South Dakota woman blew .708 last month. In March of last year, a Poland man lived to forget the tale of how he had a BAC of 1.23.

The instructor in my driver's ed. course told us of a man who lived in the Wisconsin northwoods who drank a half-liter of whiskey every morning for breakfast. This man, according to my instructor, could no longer bring his BAC below the legal limit without risk of dying so he got an equivalent of a doctor's note saying the police could not arrest him for merely having a BAC over .08. I doubt this is true, but I like to believe it - otherwise my excuse, "I'll die if I stop drinking!", would sound ridiculous.
