A serial drunken driver, whose defense against his 10th operating while intoxicated charge was that beer-battered fish were responsible for his blood alcohol level, was found guilty of the felony Monday, according to state court records.

John Przybyla, 75, of Friendship, denied drinking the night of Oct. 12 when he was pulled over in Adams County, WISC-TV in Madison reported.

Though the legal blood-alcohol limit for motorists in Wisconsin is 0.08, because of his nine previous convictions of operating while intoxicated the limit for Przybyla is 0.02, according to a story posted on the television station's website.

Przybyla also was found guilty of felony operating with a prohibited blood-alcohol content, and misdemeanor operating while revoked, according to the court records.
