A mother who was intoxicated during her labor at a Polish hospital gave birth to a baby girl who was almost 15 times over the country’s adult drunk-driving limit, Agence France-Presse is reporting.

The baby girl, born Monday, had a blood alcohol level of 0.29 percent. Poland’s drunk driving limit is 0.02 percent, according to the report.

In the U.S., the adult drunk-driving limit is 0.08.

Doctors at a hospital in Otwock, on the outskirts of Warsaw, Poland, called the police after the drunk expectant mother checked in to give birth.

The 38-year-old mother’s blood alcohol level was 0.12 percent, which is the equivalent of drinking a bottle of wine, according to the report.The mother could face up to five years in prison on charges of endangering the life and health of her child, it is reported. Doctors said the baby is not in immediate danger, but the alcohol may impact her development.

Drunk People

Bars in a few states including Minnesota and North Dakota will not serve 21 year old guests alcohol until 8 A.M. on their birthday.  This new rule is designed to discourage kids from drinking some much that they end up dead on their 21st birthday.

This rule is ludicrous!  Kids should be able to enjoy their 21st birthdays, after all it is there only 21st birthday and they should enjoy themselves.  21 year olds in the affected states, take a road trip and go to a much better state!
