He could drink a case of beer in a weekend. He also had major alcohol issues.

I used to work in a lab that did blood alcohol levels for their detox unit. You would be amazed at how high blood alcohols can get in hardened alcoholics. I've seen levels approaching .50, usually lethal for non-drinkers.

I would suspect his 45-beer binge had a longer time frame - possibly a couple of days, while he was working himself up into his beery frenzy.

The Indiana/Ohio turnpike is a straight road. I suppose all he would have to do to drive here is aim his car .
