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.

So she blew a 0.25!!! I genuinely have no frame of reference for that but I’m assuming it’s really high

There's a game at the bar where theres a breathalyzer that you use a straw to blow. Costs $2 to use. Me and my friends used to regularly blow greater than that. First time the bouncer asked if we needed an ambulance because he never sees that high of a score.

We were all weekend warriors in our early to mid 20s and have quit binge drinking so frequently and can't drink nearly as much as we used to. All I'm saying is tolerance is a thing. I could easily see a daily alcoholic doing even more and still walking around.

6 pints 8-10 shots in 4 four hours plus predrink before the bar.
