Best Answer

This is the same as alcohol poisoning. This happens when someone drinks so much alcohol the liver cannot metabilize it fast enough causing the blood alcohol level to rise to dangerous levels. .08 is considered legally intoxicated in the United States. At .25 most people would be passed out or very obviously stupid drunk. At above .30 the person's breathing can slow to dangerous levels. Above .35 can cause death if medical treatment is not sought.
