I have no idea what the answer is, but I'm guessing that it varies. Approximetly how much alcohol do you think it'd take for me, a 5'3 girl (125 lbs) to get alcohol posioning, and I have a rather low tolerance? I've chugged a huge bottle of Parrot Bay Passion Fruit Rum, and still managed to wake up without a hang over, but I can get drunk off of like 4 beers!
How much alcohol would be cutting it too close?

It TRULY varies by the person - and numbers such as age and weight only account for about 50% of the picture...
There is no EXACT definition of alcohol poisoning - but it typically starts to occur when your blood alcohol reaches the range of 0.18+ (which is when nausea and vomiting begin).
This is more than DOUBLE the legal limit for a reason... ;);););)

A BAC (blood alcohol content) of .45 is enough for a body to shut down due to the effects of alcohol. But beware that the level of "drunkenness" one feels will vary from person to person, depending on tolerance, boy/girl, size, etc.

Ask Callum Dunlop, he drank an entire bottle of Jim Beam, and the consequences, I can't even bring myself to tell you them.

I drink a fifth a day and I'm still here. Sort of.

well, don't do too much more of the drinking, and going to bed drunk, or you will start to have huge hangovers.
