RIGA, Latvia (Reuters) - Latvian police said a drunk picked up with around twice the blood-alcohol level considered deadly had probably set a world record but would wake with a hangover to match.

The unidentified middle-aged man was unconscious but stable after a blood test showed 7.22 parts per million of alcohol, police spokeswoman Ieva Zvidre said.

An average person would vomit at around 1.2, lose consciousness at 3.0 and stop breathing at a level of about 4.0 parts per million, Zvidre said, adding: "This is one for the Guinness Book of Records."

8. Ever hear of a smoking contest?

Fatal Smoking Contest, The New Straits Times, August 11, 1997
Hong Kong - In central China, two youths engaged in a "who can smoke more cigarettes" competition ended in one of them dead and the other suffering from serious poisoning. The young farmers started the smoking competition out of boredom but with encouragement from excited spectators, they went on to smoking several cigarettes at a time. The one who died had smoked 100 cigarettes while the poisoned one smoked 80.
