If so, blowing a .500 means at least 2.5 liters of pure alcohol running through your veins! 22 shots per liter, call it 80 proof spirits or so,

2.5 x 22 x .8 ...

That's 44 shots of tequila!
I think that figure is one half of one percent, isn't it? I don't think you can replace half of your blood volume with alcohol (or add 50% more fluid) and survive, can you?

Whatever the case, Stan has had quite an achievement, and I'd like to buy him a drink to celebrate!
