That's a lot of hooch!

Late last month, sheriff's deputies in Oregon found a Toyota sitting in a snowbank on a local highway at 11:30 a.m. It was still running and when they approached the car, 42-year-old Terri Comer was found sitting unconscious in the driver's seat. The car window was broken and rescuers pulled Comer out of the car. As she was comatose, she was rushed off to the hospital where a blood test determined that she was drunk.

Really drunk -- her blood alcohol level was a whopping .72! The Smoking Gun notes that this is the highest BAC it's ever run across, besting the .69 an Indiana man blew in 2003, and this woman could very well be the drunkest driver ever (or, at least, the drunkest driver ever busted for drunk driving).

And of course The Smoking Gun also has a mug shot of Ms. Comer, although it's from a 2006 DUI arrest, where "her BAC was recorded in the relatively minor .3 range."
