This is from wikipedia.

In 1995, a man in Wrocław, Poland had a car accident. At the hospital, his BAC was determined to be 1.48%. He died a few days later from wounds from the car accident. Police were baffled as to how an individual could attain such a high blood alcohol. Later, police discussions with his brother in-law revealed that he had "beer bonged" pure grain alcohol allegedly stolen from his place of work, a chemical plant.

This is apparently one of the highest BAC's ever recorded in Australia.

A YOUNG woman has stunned police by recording a blood alcohol content of 0.385 - one of the highest levels ever recorded.

The 21-year-old's mid-week bender must have been of astronomic proportions - she recorded the mind-blowing result at 8.40am in Canberra.

Police came across the woman last Wednesday after she was involved in a minor accident. 

Police said they subjected the woman to a roadside screening before she was taken to the Canberra Hospital.

A blood sample was taken, the results of which were delivered to police yesterday.

The 0.385 reading was 19 times the permitted blood alcohol level - she is a P-plate driver which permits a reading of only 0.02.
