I know any people on this site drink and there are probably a lot of binge drinkers on here. I read a bunch of stories on here about people drinking so much, it makes me wonder how they are still alive. I dont think many people are aware how much alcohol would kill them straight dead. The LD50 for alcohol is a BAC of 0.45%. LD50 = lethal dose for 50% of people. That means is that if 100 people presented with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.45% - half of them would die. Some people it might take more, others it'll take less to die, possibly a lot less. Choking and asphyxiation can also easily kill you while you are passed the fuck out. If you are just pounding the drinks back in quick succession this is how many 1oz 80 proof shots it will take to kill you: Women An 80lb woman would reach 0.45% BAC after 8 shots (who weighs 80 pounds?) A 100lb woman would reach 0.45% BAC after 10 shots. A 120lb woman would reach 0.45% BAC after 12 shots A 140 lb woman would reach 0.45% BAC after 14 shots A 160 lb woman would reach 0.45% BAC after 16 shots Men A 120 lb man would reach 0.45% BAC after 14 drinks A 140 lb man would reach 0.45% BAC after 17 drinks A 160lb man would reach 0.45% BAC after 19 drinks A 180 lb man would reach 0.45% BAC after 21 drinks DRINK RESPONSIBLY! (or just smoke some bud instead)
Its not always true. Being a Medic in an ER we see people come in with a BAC well over 500 quite a bit. Its different for every person. Just like weed, the tolerance plays a huge hand
I've come close to dieing according to those statistics. I don't know if I want to believe in statistics though.
Did you not read my post? Those amounts were based on the LD50 of alcohol. You should know what an LD50 is if you work in an ER. LD50=what it takes for 50% of people to die, not all.
Kinda scary, knowing that several times during my binge drinking years I was technically over the LD50. Very over. I'm glad I just smoke tons of herb now and only occasionally drink.
that's why they're in the ER I think what OP means by "kill you straight dead" is land you in the hospital with a stomach pump and some IV.s I also think these statistics are for people who don't drink often
haha thats awesome 19 drinks for me! I've come close I remember one night just thinking if this is it im glad it happened this way haha I really thought I was going to die good find though thanks for sharing
I barely drink now. Weed is where it's at. Alcohol is not good for you in anyway. Plus I like to keep my integrity and such intact. Thanks for the cool thread.
yeah i try sticking with bud. but shit when i'm 21 ima probably test the shit out of this theory. supposedly i can have 19 drinks. hell ya!
Yeah, thats precisely why I dont ever have more than a couple of drinks...I like my integrity. I dont wanna make a drunk fool out of myself. Haha be careful, you are going to feel like shit the next morning...that much alcohol could still kill you....or not.
I'm 120 and have drank a 24 on multiple occasions and I can assure you I am not posting from beyond the grave. Although I did time travel once after drinking nearly a 40 of the captains dark rum. Also, if you haven't passed out drunk than you haven't truly lived.
If you are just pounding the bongs back this is how many bong hits it will take to kill you: Women An 80lb woman would reach high after a 1/2 hit... still alive A 100lb woman would reach really high after 10 hits... still alive A 120lb woman would reach retarded high after 12 hits... still alive A 140 lb woman would reach toasted after 14 hits... still alive A 160 lb woman would reach baked after 16 hits... still alive Men A 120 lb man would reach high after 3 hits... still alive A 140 lb man would reach really high after 10 hits... still alive A 160lb man would reach toasted after 19 hits... still alive A 180 lb man would reach baked after 21 hits... still alive OH YEA WEED HASNT KILLED ANYONE
agreed weed may be better than alcohol I'd picks blunt over booze any day but being piss drunk imo is definitely crazier and more fun then being piss high
