Too much drink or anything is easier than you think
isthismemetaken26
at 17 a couple of friends drank damn near a litre of vodka each. one could have easily drowned on his own vomit - it was a close call
Snuggelapolous
My brother's best friend died in a similar fashion he was 20yo. I think of him all the time.
Rosie2003
Lost a friend almost 10 years ago to this. She drank a handle of something over a few hours & was found dead the next morning
RandomBSpost
I tried to help a kid who did this on Saturday w/ a bottle of vodka. Alcohol kills! Do weed & shrooms, kids! Much safer!

Detroit General Hospital ER and later Detroit Receiving ER had “The 700 Club”-list of patients brought in alive with a BAC over 700mg%
TallulahBumfluff
I have had that much vodka in an 18 hour session (veeeeery long time ago) and that was bad enough but in 3 minutes?? No thank you.
FlatPlutoSociety
Yeah, I hold my liquor pretty well, but god damn. 40 oz to the dome is like 28 shots in a row. At minimum, that'd put me in a coma.
Kyuukichi
Damn. F*ck those "friends"

I once tried to see how much it took to suppress my anxiety. 1/5th of vodka did it. Never did that again. Absurd tolerance likely saved me.
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
One bottle of white wine for me.
edgillespie939000
wow sorry to hear it. Lucky it only takes me the same quantity of wine for my anxiety to set back. Hurray for functional alcoholism.
Kbantar
Extra weirdness was that I did it at home and my mom thought I was faking being drunk.... because I was beating her at cards.
anitabieror6
I know a guy who did this. He was like gimme chaser! gimme chaser! (un)Fortunately someone handed him a gallon of milk. drank that and puked

I was an idiot and bought for my little bro’s friends once (they were in HS). They wanted a bottle of Jack. One kid proceeded to drink the

ENTIRE bottle over the course of the night. He didn’t die, but I was scared as shit. Never did I do such a thing again. Fuck being “cool”.

Is she the Mom whose son was dared during his freshman year in college and died on the frat house couch and several ppl could have saved him

The ratio between the lethal dose and the efficacious dose is called the Therapeutic Index. Alcohol is 10:1. LSD and Psilocybin? 1000:1
TimeTravelingNutjob
When my brother was 12 some idiots dared him to chug a fifth of whiskey. He did, ended up in the hospital with his stomach pumped
thechelonianshelmet
Neighbours kid had a friend do this, he died, but was luckily brought back to life, he's still a pillock, don't copy dumb, learn from it.
MasterChristopher
How messed up am I that I thought this was going to end with a surprise "I'm ashamed because he couldn't handle it" twist?
AnnieGitchYerGun
I did something similar when I was 15. Only time I drank in HS. Fifth of Jim Beam. Almost died. I'm 47 now. Visceral reaction to even a hint
AnnieGitchYerGun
of JB or SC. So awful. I am so open with my kids about alcohol and drugs and what they do and how they work. My 20 yr old managed to avoid
AnnieGitchYerGun
my mistake. My daughter is 9 and enjoys thoroughly testing her limits. I may be low-key terrified for her and me.

As long as you teach her what she has to do when she gets close to the line and what to do when she crosses it she'll be fine. Prepare for

worst but hope for the best. If you teach her before she needs to know if you give her the best insurance possible and she'll be just fine,

even if she has to blunder into some hard lessons first, you can ensure they will be lessons that way.

New year's 1980 I drank about that much after taking 3 quaaludes. My friends took me to the ER for a stomach pump. Thanks duudes!?
ThickTomato
Glad you are still with us buddy

Tnks friend. I see where you are coming from. Maybe it's time for a heroic and safe dose of ? pizza?

I got pretty close on 750ML of vodka, I blacked out before I emptied it, did some lasting damage to my liver.
michaelfire
2-3 drinks in one hour give an ave. size adult female a blood alcohol of 0.1% and man about .06%, so ten times that will be 2-3x fatal range

That was painful to watch.
BobAllen2004
Was coming to mention Shoenice and Big Ern. Now, I believe Shoenice has stopped doing alcohol slams. Last I heard, that's what the said.
Kbantar
I knew someone who died from alcohol poisoning. But his parents were in denial and had influence. So his death certificate said 1/2
Kbantar
some nonsense of congenital never diagnosed heart defect or something. Everyone that knew him knew what happened.
matt02785
I knew a guy with the exact same story, uncanny it's so identical. His name wasn't Dan by chance?
Kbantar
No, it was Phil. Probably an easy go to explanation for a sudden death of young-ish people.
evilspock
If you can drink a lot of alcohol and still function - it's nothing to brag about. It means you have a substance abuse problem.
md22mdrx
My best bro is 6’4” and 275 (mostly muscular, not overly fat). It takes a ton for him to get drunk and it doesn’t last.
Fuckimgurcunts
I've got a hundred pounds and an inch on him, it's so fucking annoying man. And expensive.
Northstar219
Whenever people bragged about quantity my knee-jerk reaction was to always say "gross!" In a half-laughing, half-disgusted sort of way.
Northstar219
Like when a little kid brags about something disgusting but they're not your kid so it's just like, "hell yeah buddy, gross!"
Blightsteel101
Some folks have naturally high tolerance. Still not necessarily something to brag about tho
coolbrood
Not something to brag about, agreed. But no, it doesn't automatically mean one has a substance abuse problem.
evilspock
The OP is talking about drinking until you accidentally die. That's not something a casual drinker does.
coolbrood
...I wasn't responding to OP
RunningInSpaces
Thanks for enlightening us dr ignorant. You have strong opinions on things you know little about.
evilspock
Actually - I just spent a month on a trial where a habitual day drinker was charged, and we spent two days hearing testimony about this.

evilspock
I miss where I said expert. I said if you can drink a 40 and are unimpaired you're a professional drunk, but nicer.
evilspock
Too many morons out there think "I can hold my liquor, I'm a MAN" then wipe out a family of four. Fuck everything about that.
evilspock
So - feel free to fuck off.
evilspock
Or maybe I hit a nerve. Feeling guilty/
Kbantar
Or naturally high tolerance. I hated mine, because I am a cheap bastard.
Fuckimgurcunts
Can confirm both of these. I started drinking early, and I have a high body mass. I can not drink for months and still kill a bottle np
alliusis
I used to have high tolerance. Now even one beer will triggers poor sleep and a migraine in the morning.
eddiespaghetti5
Last Saturday night I was the only one left standing, and I rarely drink ?
MadeYouLookAgain
My whole substance using life I’ve had a higher tolerance for all substances than most people. It was never a leaned skill I guarantee.
MadeYouLookAgain
*learned
Exyr
Yeah I've done so many drugs I should have died. Like I dunno why I'm still alive. My body just processes shit different.
MissSovi
It’s not a learned skill… it’s liver damage.
MadeYouLookAgain
Liver damage gives you the ability to party harder? Nah. Quite the opposite.
MissSovi
It’s all fun and games until you get cirrhosis
MadeYouLookAgain
Everything in moderation. Some of the best advice my doctor ever gave me at a young age. Do whatever drugs you want but not often.
tinyfootprints
A student in my middle school chugged about 8 oz of hard liquor. He didn't die but he was never quite the same. He slowed way down.
BHPaperstacks
That's just like 8 shots
ruferto
he can probably recover from that if it was in middle school

TheOneAndOnlyButtStabber
When i was a soph in highschool i had much stomach pumped. I was never able to get that drunk feeling agian. So chill beers is fine
JackHL01
Well, alcohol IS a neurotoxin!
zerogiven
It is...but more to the point in this case, it depresses breathing. I'm guessing his blood wasn't oxygenating well when the damage happened.
skincancerisfun
It's a straight up poison. It's only cultural reasons and marketing that makes people not see that
Drunkenhalfling
Nahh we know, but its also a good way to escape te real world and have some fun
JackHL01
and forget the fun during the pukeage and the day or so of hammering headaches
Drunkenhalfling
Ah yes, when we tell ourselves we'll never drink again or at least untill the next weekend
salikarn
That's only like 4 shots

8 shots. For a child.
Blightsteel101
20ml is a shot in Germany whereas 100ml is a shot in Romania. Depends on measurement. 12 German shots vs 2.4 Romanian shots
BHPaperstacks
1 1/2 oz of 80 proof liquor is considered a standard drink in the USA equivelant to 5-6oz of wine at about 11-12% and 12 oz of 5% beer
Blightsteel101
I get that, but the folks humming and hahing over how many shots it is are likely in different countries. Hence the different measures.
unluckyandbored
For a MIDDLE SCHOOLER.
geoffmendoza
This may be odd to Americans, but to Brits getting drunk when you're 10 is not unusual.
jennym123
Drunk, not downing half a bottle of liquor.

Well, that certainly explains a few things about the British...

Hambonerhandy
Where do you buy a 40 of whiskey?
TallulahBumfluff
We normally have 700ml or 1L but you can easily find 1.5 litre bottles in supermarkets here in UK and those are almost 53oz.
FlatPlutoSociety
Yeah, in the US, the standard sizes are 750mL and 1.75L. I'm no lightweight, but chugging a 750mL would definitely put me in the hospital.
loma45
In Canada it's a common size: https://www.bcliquorstores.com/product-catalogue?category=spirits&volume=1.00l-1.249&sort=name.raw:asc&page=1
Spooner1
The liquor store
Hambonerhandy
Ah the magical liquor store that sells liquor in sizes nobody makes. I shoulda known.
Hambonerhandy
Right I see that it's Canada where this magical store exists.
Dreissen
I didn't know you were an expert on alcohol volumes as sold throughout the world. Tell me, do they sell whisky in 4 liter bottles in Japan?
Hambonerhandy
Is this lady and her supposedly dead son Japanese?
Dreissen
What country are they from again?
digitalaaronscustoms
1.1L bottles of liquor are fairly common, even in the US.
Zega000
Makers mark is 33oz, what's another 7?
Axiluvia
The US has Total Wine and BevMo as two liquor chains. And in a lot of states freakin WALMART can sell ones that size.
Hambonerhandy
The point being that in the US 40oz is not a standard or remotely common size for liquor. Turns out it is in Canada.
Dagordae
Took me 3 seconds to find it with a simple google search. Several varieties from multiple stores.
Dagordae
Additional info: 33 Oz is the most common standard size in duty free stores while the largest standard size is a damn gallon. So yeah, 40
Dagordae
Isn’t even remotely unusual.
SinStar87
Also those fancy square glass bottles that you fill yourself for homebars, believe those are 40oz.
p00p3nh31m3r
To be fair, they could have poured it into a 40 for the bet, kids are dumb
thevortexmaster
In Canada we have mini Mickey's, Mickeys, twixer (26 oz), 40s (40oz), and texas Mickey. These are what we have fir sizes
baronnapalm
The best part is. Some of the names you just listed are different out east. A mickey is a quart for example. 26 Oz is a two-six.
thevortexmaster
We call it a 2-6 as well but a Mickey is always just a Mickey
ratfaceddog
That’s malt liquor (which comes in 40’s everywhere), not whiskey.
thevortexmaster
https://newfoundlandtimes.ca/liquor-sizes-in-newfoundland-and-beer-too/ I'm in BC but its the same. We do say 40 pounder here as well
thevortexmaster
We have 40s of all hard liqour. It's the next size after a 2-6
thevortexmaster
Micky is 13 oz, mini 7, and texas Micky is 120oz I believe
Hambonerhandy
None of that is whiskey.
paulbloface
We also have handles, about 60 oz (1.75L)
FranxNBeans
A 40oz of whiskey? This has a refer madness vibe
machinelogic
I don't know man, that's how I felt when I injected four whole marijuanas at once.
thevortexmaster
Canada. We call them 40's. One size smaller is a twixer or twenty sixer.
IamDooters
I've called it a 2-6 before as well. Not to be confused with a 2-4, of course :)
loma45
They're not unusual up here in the great white north.
Problemwoodchuck
Maybe someone filled an empty 40 oz beer can with whiskey?
thevortexmaster
In Canada we have 40 oz bottles. It's second biggest size after that it's a Texas Mickey which is like 120 oz or something
SmeesNotVeryGoodTwin
https://whiskeybon.com/blog/different-whiskey-bottle-sizes/ "IMPERIAL QUART (38.5 U.S. FL OZ/1.14 L) – OUTDATED : Called a ’40’ in Canada."
SmeesNotVeryGoodTwin
It's nice to know that Canadians are getting something wrong like Americans say soccer.
baronnapalm
Canadas names for liquor is all messed up. There's regional variance as well so it gets worse the more you look in to it.
Dagordae
Why, because nobody would be dumb enough to chug a bottle? Never underestimate the stupidity of the already drunk. If you are one of those
Dagordae
People who think whisky doesn’t come in that size: Just Google it. It’s not even the largest standard size. Hell, 33 is the most common.
TypicallyVigo
Yep, Fireball's two common sizes are 33 and 59 oz
Megapyton66
Where is that unit conversion bot, I have no idea what a oz is
TheOneAndOnlyButtStabber
how to know your not a drug dealer
Strangedays2024
A handle is just shy of 60oz. So about 2/3 of that. I was doing 2 of those every 3 days at my worst.
Nostradamuswaswrong
A gallon is 128 oz. A fifth (normal bottle of liquor) is 25.6 oz. (roughly 750 ml). Yes, that's why they're called fifths, because =1/5 Gal.
OnePieceRoboFranky
40 us fluid ounces = 1.183 liters
RacecarIsRacecarBackwards

OKSasquatch
Yeah, but how many washing machines is that?
OnePieceRoboFranky
Less then one bud
DaDefenestrator
We measure smaller amounts in handguns. This is like 2.3 Glocks.
OKSasquatch
Glocks are German though, and thus are metric. I believe the correct Freedom Unit (tm) is Colt 1911s.
thevortexmaster
It's twice the size than a twixer eh. A mickey is half a twixer.
loma45
It's less than half - 26oz vs 40oz. Close though
thevortexmaster
True
