A HEAVY drinker who died after a vodka binge was more than seven times the drink-drive limit.

Judith Scott, 55, had gone drinking in Oxford with her partner John Savery on July 5 and was found dead on her sofa at home in Abelwood Road, Long Hanborough, the next morning.

Her blood-alcohol content was 563 milligrams. The drink-drive limit is 80.

Coroner Alison Thompson recorded a verdict of death by misadventure at an inquest in Oxford yesterday.
