My New Year's Resolution is...

...to beat this ladies record! .708!! I wanna party with this old hag!!

RAPID CITY, S.D. - South Dakota authorities say a woman found passed out in a stolen delivery van earlier this month registered a blood alcohol content of .708 — nearly nine times the legal limit and a possible record for the state.

Meade County State's Attorney Jesse Sondreal said Wednesday that 45-year-old Marguerite Engle was found slumped over the van's steering wheel along a highway on Dec. 1.

He says the highest blood alcohol content state chemists he spoke with could recall was a .56. The state's legal limit is .08.

Authorities say Engle missed an initial court hearing Dec. 15, but that they found her Monday in another stolen vehicle, and that she had been drinking.

She was being held on two counts of driving under the influence. It wasn't immediately clear if she was facing other charges.

Her attorney declined comment.

We talked about this for a solid hour at work yesterday. Not sure how she didn't die, but she went for the gold! Crazy South Dakotans...

That's insane. It's like people continued to pour liquor down her throat after she passed out. The human body basically shuts down at >.3

I wonder how much permanent damage she did to her system as that can't be good for her organs.

She should play for the beer nuts.
