Alcohol is a neurotoxin, anesthetic, and depressant. In sufficient quantities, it is fatal. The lethal dose varies with individuals. It can be as little as 0.30% blood alcohol content by volume, or as high (in rare cases) as 0.60. To put it in perspective, if a person with no alcohol tolerance chugged a liter of vodka and was able to keep it down, it would almost certainly kill them.
