A LANDSCAPE architect is one of the drunkest women ever caught driving in Australia after registering a blood alcohol concentration of .401 -- more than eight times the legal limit.

Medical experts believe the amount of alcohol found in Samantha Leigh O'Shea's blood could have killed a less experienced drinker.
Her reading was one of the highest reported in Australia.

A South Australian man recorded a blood-alcohol level of 0.497 when he was breath-tested in that state's southeast in 1998.

A Melbourne grandfather, 53, blew .423 in September 1999.

And a Tasmanian man, 30, blew .404 after falling into the arms of police who had tailed him home because of erratic driving in 1991.

Most drinkers become comatose with a level of .35 and death occurs at about .5, medical experts say.

O'Shea, 37, was seen driving on the wrong side of the road at night without lights on Queensland's Gold Coast on February 27 this year.
