Reply #25: i called 911 and actually saved a life

[Lethe]

even though he was so wasted he doesnt even remember it....

A long time ago I staying the night at my grandparent's house and my uncle was there because he had just been divorced by his wife. I came upstairs to find my uncle semi-conscious and ranting about how he hates everyone and wants to die, etc. He had a huge bottle of vodka nearby that was empty(he chugged the whole thing, like a 1.0L), and from his suicidal rants I thought he had taken some pills to do the deed.

I called 911 and they came and took him to the hospital. Afterwards, the doctor told us his BAC was over 1.0%, which is enough to kill a human. No pills, just a shitload of vodka.
