Drunkies, the bar has officially been raised. In fact, you may quit drinking altogether after reading this article, feeling that your life means nothing compared to that of this young man. Either that or go on a bender of depression so bad your body ends up in a landfill.

Police in Riga, Latvia, picked up an unidentified male recently, with an astounding blood-alcohol level of 7.22 parts per million. To put that in perspective, usually a person will vomit around 1.2, pass out at 3.0, and lose respitory function at 4.0. Police spokeswoman Liva Zvidre stated, "This is one for the Guiness Book of Records."

Ryan's opinion: Wow. That is amazing. If you drink, I would advise you stop, lest you look like a little girl in comparison to this guy. I bet none of you could even break 1.0, and this guy is sitting high and mighty at 7.22.

Many questions come time mind. How did he get that much alcohol? How did he stay awake long enough to drink that much? And how did he survive the resulting hangover?

In any case, it's clear that all you other drunks are nothing but pansies.
