The video above has a pretty simple premise -- get a racing driver drunk and see if he, a person who is paid handsomely to drive as well as possible, can still navigate a car around a track.

Anyone with half a brain can figure out how this video turns out. After consuming even just a couple drinks, Tatsuya Kataoka starts messing up his corner entries and doesn't nail his braking points. Things get even weirder once Kataoka starts consuming other types of alcohol, sending his blood-alcohol content further toward the sky -- his last blow is 0.566 mg/L, which is about one and a half times the legal limit in most US states, and more than triple the limit in Japan. Spoiler alert: He doesn't get any better at it.
