Alcohol is a neurotoxin, and at elevated levels it suppresses the central nervous system and causes vital functions to shut down. Alcohol poisoning is caused by drinking alcohol faster than the body can eliminate it, causing it to build up in the body fluids.
Generally speaking, one has to drink not only quickly, but in large amounts. Anything like normal drinking is unlikely to induce it. However, doing shots or chugging repeatedly can be dangerous. Trying to show how much you can drink is never a good idea.
