DIscount it a bit for spillage, short shotting, etc, and you can easily find 0.3 to 0.4 in this one drink alone.

Combine it with, say, 3 beers in the same hour, and you are looking at BAC of anywhere from 0.4 to 0.6! Remeber too, they found her dead at home. That means there was a digestion period and a "wearing off" period before the death. 0.40 or greater dead would suggest a BAC of over 0.5 at peak.

Because this drink appears to be large and would appear to need to be consumed in a fairly short period of time (for the purpose of a contest), you can safely assume that the girl likely had a HUGE peak BAC rating that would certainly register as dead. Remember, SHE DIED.

0.60 is NOT out of the question, pre mortum. the actual time of death compared to the time of consumption would allow you to pretty much figure out a straight line to her peak BAC. It was certainly a stunning number.
