How much alcohol in one binge drinking session will kill you?

* Yes, that much alcohol can kill you. Part of it will depend on how big you are physically and the amount of time that they were consumed will also be a big factor. If you drank 14 beers over the course of 8 or 10 hours, it wouldn't be a big deal. If you drank 14 shots in half an hour, you could kill yourself. * Typically no!!! But it may feel like it. The best thing to do with a large consumption of alcohol is drink plenty of water when you are done (or before you go to bed). When you wake up drink a full days worth (100%) of vitamin C (you can buy flavored Emergen-C packets in the vitamin section at Wal Mart) and a couple of pain reliever.

What do you do if your dad calls you a liar and you didn't lie?

Realise that your Dad's opinion may well be wrong, not just about this, but also about everything else he has ever told you. You need to work out absolutely everything for yourself - you can't trust your parents to be right about everything. Even if they're the best parents in the world, they are definitely wrong about some things, and it's up to you to find out which. (Of course even the worst parents are probably right about some things, too!)

That is one of the most valuable lessons involved in growing up - and it's a lesson many people never learn their whole lives.

Also if he's calling you "a liar", that's actually abusive behavior. If, instead, he says "You told a lie" when you really didn't, well, that simply means he has the wrong information, for whatever reason. Maybe he misunderstood something.

But to say "you are a liar" is abuse - it's basically saying "everything you say is a lie" which is (probably!) an abusive and untrue statement, and suggests that your father doesn't respect you as he should - in which case, he doesn't deserve your respect, either.

Does Klonopin increase blood alcohol level?

No, but combined with alcohol there is a synergistic effect, meaning that the effect of both the alcohol and the Klonopin is increased.
