It really depends on the person (Their weight, height, tolerance). I think it would be pretty hard to drink beer until death, it's much easier to die from hard liquor.

I was watching MANswers awhile ago and it said if you put a beer up your ****, it goes directly into your bloodstream thus making you drunk faster. BUT that means one beer alone has a possibility of killing you, so do NOT try doing that.



I read that a BAC of 0.40% will result in death about 50% of the time.

Use this BAC calculator

Keep in mind that not only is it the number of drinks, it is the amount of time you take to consume them. Other variables come into account such as age, sex, weight, how much you've eaten, any health problems, the alcohol concentration of the drink, etc. so it's almost impossible to get an EXACT answer.

Wow, that's a vague question. I don't guess you are asking how much beer someone can ingest over a lifetime before they die, but instead you want to know how much beer could lead to alcohol poisoning and death the night of or morning after the ingestion of a great deal of alcohol. And the answer is (drumroll...) it depends! Our liver processes most of the things we put into our bodies. Let's say you have Hepatitis A, which is a very serious liver disease. Your body cannot handle alcohol and clearing it would be nearly impossible with such a disease. The same thing would be true of someone whose liver was damaged by cirrhosis from drinking for many years or from disease. Generally, about 2-3 beers would put an average-sized man at .08 blood alcohol content (BAC), which is the limit for operating a motor vehicle. For most people, death could occur between .32 and .50, so drinking between 12 and 24 or more beers in a two hour time span could do it. Food could slow absorption of the alcohol, as could vomiting.

It is more than likely one would vomit before alcohol poisoning would kill them; I used to work daily with cops on DUIs, overdose death investigations, etc. as part of my job.



If we are talking an average healthy adult and your standard 4,2-5,3% strength beer- I don`t think one can drink ones self to death. It`s not a strong enough alcohol to cause a lethal spirit poisoning. One would pee a lot, then may start to puke and in the end would pass out before ones liver may shot down or something deadly like that.



Well, they say you don't know your limits until you exceed them. Give it a go and let us know.



about a 12 pack a day for me.
