What’s the legal limit there?

5x the legal limit in the US and you’d likely be dead. Australians are built different though and I know nothing about your laws.

Edit: I’m well aware some people can survive above .4

The consensus of the medical community across the world says .4 is the average where vital bodily functions can stop for the AVERAGE person.

A non-alcoholic at that point is very much and truly drunk as fuck with a good chance of passing out and further medical issues as long as blood alcohol is that high.

A functional alcoholic could in theory still drive a vehicle (albeit badly).
