If consumed in excess over an extended period of time, alcohol can produce cirrhosis of the liver, where the liver is scarred and its function reduced or eliminated, potentially resulting in death. If consumed in extreme excess over a short period of time alcohol itself can produce poisoning that can result in death. The whole buzz of intoxication is the result of a low-level poisoning and your body's reaction to it.
