I've been around .35 and still standing (this is an estimate based on medical formulae, I don't remember anything other than a few isolated moments, and I had to be reminded of those to recall them.) The morals of this story are that some people can drink a lot and still be standing, standing doesn't mean you should be trusted to do anything other than vomit and sleep, and that it's easy to black out if you don't keep track of what you're drinking and kill half a bottle of 99 bananas, three beers, and 7 shots of absinth in an hour.
