The following lists the effects of alcohol on the body, depending on the blood alcohol concentration or BAC.[4][5][6] Also, tolerance varies considerably between individuals.

Please note: the BAC percentages provided below are just estimates and used for illustrative purposes only. They are not meant to be an exhaustive reference; please refer to a healthcare professional if more information is needed.
Euphoria (BAC = 0.03 to 0.12%).
Subject may experience an overall improvement in mood and possible euphoria.
They may become more self-confident or daring.
Their attention span shortens. They may look flushed.
Their judgment is not as good — they may express the first thought that comes to mind, rather than an appropriate comment for the given situation.
They have trouble with fine movements, such as writing or signing their name.
Lethargy (BAC = 0.09 to 0.25%)
Subject may become sleepy.
They have trouble understanding or remembering things, even recent events. They do not react to situations as quickly.
Their body movements are uncoordinated; they begin to lose their balance easily, stumbling; walking is not stable.
Their vision becomes blurry. They may have trouble sensing things (hearing, tasting, feeling, etc.).
Confusion (BAC = 0.18 to 0.30%)
Profound confusion — uncertain where they are or what they are doing. Dizziness and staggering occur.
Heightened emotional state — aggressive, withdrawn, or overly affectionate. Vision, speech, and awareness are impaired.
Poor coordination and pain response. Nausea and vomiting sometimes occurs.
Stupor (BAC = 0.25 to 0.40%)
Movement severely impaired; lapses in and out of consciousness.
Subjects can slip into a coma; will become completely unaware of surroundings, time passage, and actions.
Risk of death is very high due to alcohol poisoning and/or pulmonary aspiration of vomit while unconscious.
Loss of bodily functions can begin, including bladder control, breathing, heart rate.
Coma (BAC = 0.35 to 0.50%)
Unconsciousness sets in.
Reflexes are depressed (i.e., pupils do not respond appropriately to changes in light).
Breathing is slower and more shallow. Heart rate drops. Death usually occurs at levels in this range.
Death (BAC more than 0.50%)
Can cause central nervous system to fail, resulting in death.

In a 80 proof bottle of vodka the Alcohol content is 40%, And it depends on the person....

every heard the saying "too much of anything can kill you"?

Not all at once, for you body witll barf it back up. but over an extended period of time, if the alcohol doesn't kill your, aspirating your own vomit will finish you off

yes.. any liquor drunk to fast can kill you (depending on your body weight I guess)

It depends on your body weight and how immune you are to alcohol there isnt an exact amount

depends on the person. if you drink too much, or mix different alcoholic drinks together, (or just in your stomach) you can get alcohol poisoning.
