| 2009-12-11 |
| A liver transplant recipient was given a public intoxication warning Monday afternoon after he registered a 0.39 percent blood-alcohol level, according to La Crosse police reports. The 34-year-old man was found on a curb at Springbrook Way and Cliffside Drive about 3 p.m., reports stated. He could not stand or walk unassisted when a family member took him home, police noted. He was taken to Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center for detoxification. |

| #5 He was legally DEAD!! Nah. Alcoholics can function with .4 to .6 BACs. Their systems have had lots of practice doing it. This clown was passed out and couldn't walk. Amateur hour. |

| #4 You certainly wouldn't want to do that with your own liver. |

| #2 Gee, I wonder what caused his original liver to fail? Hepatitis? Malaria? Fatty liver disease? This article provides no clues... |
