A Russian man laid off from his job and feeling "awfully dissappointed" has confounded doctors by surviving a drinking binge that at a minimum was twice the lethal dose.
The man said he headed to a grocery store after getting laid off to pick up some vodka and cream cheese, a friend soon joined him, and after that his recollection of events became hazy.
Doctors figure he drank at least 8 bottles of 500ml 80 proof (40%)vodka, which is equal to drinking about 91 bottles of standard 5% Canadian beer if my math is right.
