I did some research and indeed the Latvian performance was impressive, but it was only 0.722 and he fell unconscious (stable, but unconscious). This guy was at 0.914 and awake and conversant.
The Guinness Book says that they do not and will not keep records of people consuming alcohol (i.e. most consumed and highest blood alcohol) in order to discourage people from trying to break it.
The only discrepancy I can make is that the Bulgarian article indicated that fatal limit is 0.55 and the Latvian article (as well as a few others) measure it at 0.4, so I have to wonder if there are different measurement systems in place. Of course that would make the Latvian 181% over the fatal limit and the Bulgarian only 166% over. Did I mention over the FATAL limit?
I have no idea why I put that much effort into that.
Regardless, either "record" is more than I ever want to put into my body, at one time or spread over many times :) There's reasons why I don't drink anymore....

I try to stop when I think my breath could strip paint.
