It is possible to die from alcohol poisoning, but that you are awake, miserable & asking the question is a pretty good indication that you won't.

What you have is called a "hangover" - and they can be really nasty. The very best way to get rid of a hangover is to try not to get one in the first place. Limit the amount that you drink and be sure to have a quart or so of water and something to eat before you go to bed after you've been drinking. Alcohol shuts down your digestive system and causes you to dehydrate, which is why you are so miserable today.

You might try having something to eat, preferably something a little spicy or greasy, but do be aware that having drunk that much champagne and gotten yourself into this state you may simply have to ride it out.

Some might tell you to take a little "hair of the dog" but that is not the best plan. Doing that can lead to a habit of doing it and habits lead to alcoholism.

Keep throwing up, your body is trying to get rid of the alcohol. Keep drinking liquids, even though you'll probably barf them up. You need to stay hydrated.

You won't die.

Throwing up is a normal part of hang-overs. It's your bodies way getting rid of the toxins you annihilated yourself with. Keep lots of water.

You can always go to the DR and get yourself checked.

Alcohol overdoses, though rare, can happen . I'm not sure about the day-afters though.

Seeing that you lived through the night and are even able to sit in front of your computer and type , I'd say "No". you're not going to die. You have a hangover.

Drink lots of water and get something to eat. (if you can eat.)
Tomorrow it will be just a memory.
Alcohol poisoning usually occurs with hard liqour.

of course!!!!!!!! you are going to die! well, sorry i don't know i'm not the doctor but its not good to drink alcohol! ask the doctor about your problem!!!!!!

No, you will just feel like it for the rest of the day. Don't do something so stupid again. Bad, Bad!

You may well have picked up a bug at the same time...you should not still be throwing up, unless you did. Stay in bed, drink plenty of fluids like when you have the flu, take asprin or ibuprofen, not tylenol acetemenophen, which is deadly with alcohol.

You hopefully will feel better this evening. If you feel like a truck hit you and you have fever...it was the flu. But still, to be on the safe side, never do that trick of that much drink at one time. Every heard of the hazing deaths from taking mucho alcohol in a short period of time?

Yes you can die.

if you managed to write this, probably you are not dieing. time, a day or so, will cure you.

It all depends on how much alcohol your body can handle. But if your rushed to the hospital because you drank too much you could probably die. But as long as you control your vomiting and drink lots of water, you should be fine!!

yes there's a big possibility of that happening

haha, no you are fine. In order to die, you must be unconscious and your breathing must stop. This usually occurs immediately after you have drank, and certainly not from champagne.

You're not going to die. Hang in there. Drink lots of water and drink a little Gatorade or other sports drink. Don't drink so much next time. When you feel up to it, try some dry toast and see if you can keep that down.

You won't die. Drink plenty of gatorade and eat lots of tacos from Jack in the Box...

One can die from drinking too much. One can also die later from alcohol poisoning.

However, we are all going to die. So, enjoy the ride while it lasts.

.

lol its perfectly normal if ur not experienced at drinking to think that ur gonna die ;) just drink water and try to sleep as much as u can and it will go away tomorrow.tho champagne and wine can hold u 2-3 days :P

usually alcohol poisoning happens the day you drank...your probably just experiencing a bad hangover...drink water or gatorade or something with electrolytes in it...you should feel fine by tonight

yeah
