Moore was eight times over limit

Rock legend Gary Moore died after bingeing on enough alcohol to put him nearly eight times over the drink-drive limit, tests have revealed.

The guitarist suffered a heart attack brought on by the amount of alcohol he drank at the start of a holiday, the studies showed.

He had 380mg of alcohol per decilitre of blood in his system, more than 30mg the amount associated with fatalities and just short of the 416mg Amy Winehouse had in her body when she died.
