County Coroner George Deavers said the person tested positive for COVID-19, but an investigation by him and the pathologist determined the cause of death was ethanol toxicity. The person’s blood-alcohol content was 0.55, or almost seven times the legal driving limit of 0.08 in Colorado, Deavers said. A BAC of 0.3 is considered lethal.

When I got my DUI back in early 1982, I blew a .27 on the breathalyzer. The cop couldn't believe it because while he could tell I'd been drinking, I didn't appear to be that drunk. Shit man, I'd just gotten out of the army and that was just a light buzz. When he asked me to recite the alphabet I did him one better and rattled off the phonetic alphabet without even thinking twice.
