I read a story the other day about a twelve-year-old
girl who had been to a party and they had poured her
a full glass of vodka. 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.
