I drink til I cant see anymore... then dry heave in my bed for the entire next day. I just dont see how someone could die from drinking too much.
The time I wrapped my truck around a pole was a different story tho.. :shinner:
orbital123 said:It happens alot AkumA, sad to say. Some people don't throw up when they drink to much. It overloads their liver their whole body and they shut down. I have never drank that much cause I would be dead if I had, but I was pretty close about 5 years ago.

nolt said:no. liver damage is NOT the cause of acute alcohol death. alcohol causes significant damage to the liver and pancreas over a long period of time, and that will eventually kill you if something else doesnt first, but liver toxicity is not significant in acute overdose.
respiratory depression.
nolt said:ok
"alcohol poisoning" is actually a term invented by some lay person that wanted to brag about the fact that they drank too much and had really bad side effects.
in medicine -particularly toxicology- we dont like that term.
you "poison" yourself with alcohol any time you use it and it gives you an undesired or particularly harmful effect.
if you drink enough, it will drastically lower your blood sugar, dehydrate you, deplete a carload of water soluable vitamins through diuresis and so on and so on. end result: hangover. sometimes the hangover can last all day if you did the above to a great enough extent.
alcohol is also a CNS depressant and it has a respectable ability (even when compared to other cns depressants) to slow down or even stop respiration by relaxing the muscles responsible for respiration. this is generally how people die from acute alcohol ingestions, but the hypoglycemia can kill you as well.
