MADISON, Wis. -- Madison police arrested a man with a blood alcohol content of 0.559.

According to a police report, a 76-year-old man called officers to his home after two men came to his door on Turbot Drive on Friday night.

The man told police one of the men was standing and the other was lying on the ground.

Police said when they arrived, only the man on the ground was still there and he appeared to be unconscious.

Police took the man to the hospital, where he later left against doctors' advice.

1. Same reason Charlie Sheen can go through 1/2 kilo of coke in a night
His body's used to it

11. That's a cruel hyperbole
I have it on good authority that he goes through no more than 1.1 pounds of coke in a night.


Why do you have to exaggerate to make your point?

2. I know that in SC
They can't arrest you if you're over .34 without taking you to the hospital first. I've never heard of anyone being higher than the low 40s. I think the previous answer is correct; this guy probably drank a quart a day and had a major tolerance.

4. Simple he's a Wisconsinite.
If drinking were an olympic event, all you'd need would a group of Wisconsinites, and we'd be taking home gold medals like the Dream Team.

13. That's the problem with the youth of today.
They just don't stick with anything very long.

20. Keith Richards quit doing drugs 30 years ago
I just read his new book and apparently he stopped doing hard drugs a long time ago.

23. What about drinking?
At least he's quit the hard stuff. Can't imagine someone his age still during those kind of drugs on a regular basis.
Thanks for the info. I would like to read his book. I bet it was interesting.

16. That amount could be letal for someone who doesn't drink much.
But someone who drinks builds up tolerance.
