In my line of work, I encounter people on a daily basis that have encountered dangerous situations. I have decided on the top two most dangerous behaviors. Please avoid these behaviors for your safety. Those two behaviors are (and I quote):

"Minding my own business" and "I only had two drinks".

These have got to be the two most dangerous behaviors anyone can participate in. People engaging in these behaviors have been shot, stabbed, beaten with a bat, wrecked their car, gotten things stuck on or in various body parts (some that require a saw to remove them), dislocated shoulders, ankles, jaws, and knee caps, become mysteriously unresponsive, and stopped breathing.

Therefore I have decided to never mind my own business and definitely never have just two drinks.

Love your ER nurse, we pick the size of all needles, tubes, and catheters! :-)

Blood alcohol levels are different than breathalyzers -- 0.08 is legally drunk for DUI purposes, and it equals about 80 on our scale. The highest BAL I've seen is 487. That poor soul ended up on a ventilator. We do have a chronic drunk that can still walk and sing songs to me with an alcohol level of 380-400. It's actually impressive. Until he tries to hug me. Then I run.

Different readings for different analyzers. Understood. I make my living calibrating instruments and control systems.

I had an uncle (by marriage) that would fall into that category. He was a chronic alcoholic and the amount of vodka he drank just to stay "well" was astounding. I'm sure he would have blown a .35 to .40 on a breathalyzer at any given moment if tested when "sober". The amazing thing was he was borderline genius (his kids were the subject of a doctoral thesis on high IQ) and he never seemed to lose ANY cognitive function or his wit no matter how drunk he was. He always held a job and good ones at that, right up to the point of sucomming to cirrhosis of the liver. I still miss that guy.
 
Two drinks is a good start when you have a bar in your basement. Or two beers and saying " hold my beer and watch this" equals a great time with friends. It all how you look at it. Trust me I am married to a nurse and liver failure is discussed on her nights off. Sometimes you just have to say " sorry little buddy " to your liver. Especially after a great match.. sorry for the rant but I like beer!!!!

Lets see. One of my favorites so far: Any wallets, purses, stuff like that we inventory when it is turned into lost and found (partially looking for contraband, mainly to keep people from saying we stole something). Anyways, I am inventorying this guys wallet and find a joint. I obviously now have paperwork to do. I seal it up in an evidence and contact BIA (federal cops for tribal land) to let them know. About an hour later BIA shows up on an unrelated issue. As I am talking to the BIA guy, joint dude asks us about his wallet. So me and the cop pull the guy into my bosses office so we can talk to him. The cops end up giving him a pass since he had no warrants or anything. Obviously we ban him from the casino cause well we don't like druggies. As one of my offices is walking this guy out he asks the cop for his joint back. Still has got to be one of the funniest things I have heard.
 
Oh and the there was the guys who claimed he did 20 shots of tequila! We nicknamed him rubber dude because we where pretty sure his spine and most of his bones had been replaced with rubber. His mom was doing all she could to keep him vertical, and I was doing all I could to not roll on the floor laughing hysterically. More than once the dude tried to lay down on the floor to take a nap. We were able to account for 5 shots of tequila and found out it was pretty much his first time drinking.
