Can you die from drinking enough alchol?

Answer 1

YES!

What Happens to Your Body When You Get Alcohol Poisoning?

Alcohol depresses nerves that control involuntary actions such as breathing and the gag reflex (which prevents choking). A fatal dose of alcohol will eventually stop these functions.

It is common for someone who drank excessive alcohol to vomit since alcohol is an irritant to the stomach. There is then the danger of choking on vomit, which could cause death by asphyxiation in a person who is not conscious because of intoxication.

You should also know that a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) can continue to rise even while he or she is passed out. Even after a person stops drinking, alcohol in the stomach and intestine continues to enter the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. It is dangerous to assume the person will be fine by sleeping it off.

Critical Signs for Alcohol Poisoning
Mental confusion, stupor, coma, or person cannot be roused.
Vomiting.
Seizures.
Slow breathing (fewer than eight breaths per minute).
Irregular breathing (10 seconds or more between breaths).
Hypothermia (low body temperature), bluish skin color, paleness.

Be aware that a person who has passed out may die.

What Can Happen to Someone With Alcohol Poisoning That Goes Untreated?

Victim chokes on his or her own vomit.
Breathing slows, becomes irregular, or stops.
Heart beats irregularly or stops.
Hypothermia (low body temperature).
Hypoglycemia (too little blood sugar) leads to seizures.
Untreated severe dehydration from vomiting can cause seizures, permanent brain damage, or death.

Even if the victim lives, an alcohol overdose can lead to irreversible brain damage. Rapid binge drinking (which often happens on a bet or a dare) is especially dangerous because the victim can ingest a fatal dose before becoming unconscious.

Answer 2

Yes, chugging Grey Goose will f*ck you up. But personally, I think it sounds like you need marijuana more than alcohol. Alcohol can make you feel worse about these types of situations and throw you into depression or explosive anger. Getting high will most likely relax you, or cause you to not give a ****. A lot of people I know that hate their jobs smoke pot before going to work and it helps them mellow out. Alcohol is more harsh on your body and it is harder to hide. Smoking weed won't be as harmful so you can smoke daily and even learn to function pretty well at work. Plus if you have drug testing, you could even get fired and finally be relieved :) Good luck

Answer 3

Yes you can, it is called alcohol poisoning. Some people have ended up in the hospital. There was a high school kid in my town who had went to a party after a football game and ended up dying from alcohol poisoning. He had consumed 2 fifths of vodka.

Answer 4

Yes

Answer 5

Yes. People do all the time. Alchohol is a depressant, which makes the brain fuction slower. For the brain to compensate, it goes overdrive, thus resulting in dying.

Answer 6

Yes. You could poison your liver and cause it to fail. Also, you kill a lot of brain cells, just like you would with drugs. Must be nice not to know anything and people calling you a bloody moron.

Answer 7

Yes, definitely. There is even a story, many years ago, about a man on death row that cheated the executioner by drinking himself to death during his last meal.

Answer 8

Of course! Too much of anything can kill you, even water. A woman recently died of water intoxication trying to win a Wii. Article here: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/state/20070115-1416-ca-waterintoxication.html If plain ol' water can be fatal, then imagine what too much alcohol can do to you.
