Competing in the amount of alcohol you drink is fun, but not safe. Often such competitions end in the intensive care unit of the hospital and even in the cemetery. Interestingly, those who drank the most vodka were those who were not going to set a record, but simply lost control of themselves. With beer, the situation is different, training is needed there.
A lethal dose of alcohol is considered to be a concentration of 5 ppm or more. Despite this, cases have been recorded in the world when people survived even with a higher concentration of alcohol in the blood. True, they were found in time and provided medical assistance. Subsequently, the abundant amount of alcohol consumed had a negative impact on health.
Only in one of the three cases, the record was set by vodka, in the other two, nothing is known about the drink, but for ease of perception, the dose of alcohol drunk was transferred to vodka. Rating:
First place. On August 8, 2013, police found a 40-year-old unconscious man in a roadside ditch near the Polish town of Nowa Demba. At the hospital, it turned out that his blood contained an incredible dose of alcohol – 13,74 ppm.
The record holder was saved, but alcohol caused irreparable harm to his digestion, nervous and cardiovascular systems. What kind of alcohol the man drank is not reported. In terms of vodka, he drank 2,75 liters.
Second place. In 2004, in the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv, a car hit 67-year-old Petr Petrov. Arriving at the call, the doctors realized that grandfather was very drunk. But the analysis of his blood shocked: the breathalyzer showed 9,14 ppm.
Confident in the malfunction of their equipment, doctors repeated the test 5 more times, but the result did not change. At the same time, grandfather was conscious and clearly answered questions. He was immediately sent to intensive care. Later it turned out that in an hour and a half Peter Petrov drank about 2 liters of vodka. This is the case when an accident saved a person’s life. If the Bulgarian had not been helped in time, he would definitely have died.
Third place. In 2003, an unconscious drunk man was found at a bus stop in Riga. His blood contained 7,22 ppm of alcohol (the equivalent of 1,5 liters of vodka). After treatment, he admitted that he drank himself unconscious because of a quarrel with his wife, while he did not remember the exact amount of alcohol he drank and even the drink itself.
Strong intoxication occurs at 2,5 ppm (0,5 liters of vodka drunk in 1-2 hours), even healthy people are not recommended to exceed this dose.
beer records
In 1977, the Frenchman S.P. Carlisle drank 1 liter of beer in 1,3 seconds. In turn, the Czech chef Mider drank 3 liters in 10,5 minutes. But to achieve this grandiose result, he trained for several years for a long time, drinking 8 liters of beer a day. Young worship also has something to brag about 🙂
The largest brewery “Anheuser Bush Incorporated” is located in the USA (the city of St. Louis). It produces more than 11 billion liters of beer annually. The smallest plant is located in the Czech city of Pilsen. This museum exhibit can produce up to 30 liters of beer per year.
