Then everyone made a ring around her chanting "drink drink drink". The next thing she knew was when her parents picked her up at the hospital. Two years later the story appeared in the news. Obviously a very unpleasant experience but life goes on etc. etc. Last thing the journalist asked was if she had been drinking anything since that day? She replied that now her relationship to alcohol is a bit more mature... Technically death by alcohol can result with a BAC as low as 0.30, assuming ethyl alcohol and the danger increases with increase in BAC. This is also effected by body weight and composition, health level, etc. "As low as"??? 0.3 is so falling down drunk that even an alcoholic has a hard time getting that high. "As low as" compared with much higher levels. www.brad21.org, for example, lists the effects of at least two higher levels - .35 and ".40 - higher". The article I quoted from described .30 as the lower level where alcohol poisoning could directly result in death. I'm sure that a person CAN get that drunk but he has to drink very heavy and rapid enough to get it down before it gets into his blood stream. I had a friend who was a Medic in the Navy (he belatedly discovered that the Navy provided medical serves for the U.S. Marines) who discovered that by injecting commercially pure Ethel Alcohol into oranges one could get extremely blotto while on duty by simply eating fruit. Subsequent to receiving administrative punishment (Captain's Mast) for being drunk he did a bit more research and discovered that imbibing pure alcohol was a good means of killing yourself and gave up drinking. -- Cheers, John B. |
