About beer...?

Question

okay so you know if you go online and do a google search for "bac online" well i put in 355ml, with a 5.9% abv, and i put down i drank 10 beers in 2 hours it says i should be dead... im pretty heavy and stuff and it just surprised me.. i checked it out on other bac online sites and they all said i should be either in a coma or dead... anyways i put it to the test and drank 10 natural ice (5.9%) within two hours plus 2 extra... and i was pretty darn drunk but no were near death or whatever... so why does it say that??? i mean how many beers do you have to drink to really die? ive never heard of someone getting alcohol poisoning from beer, hard liquor or wine yes but not beer... anyways give me your opinions please... thanks.

Answer 1

10 beers in 2 hours doesn't strike me as "dead" territory either, perhaps the calculator doesn't have seasoned drinkers with a tolerance in mind.  I could see somebody totally fresh to beer getting alcohol poisoning at that rate, possibly dying.

EDIT:

It gave me unconscious and a BAC of .24 which seems about right.  Perhaps your calculations were a tad off somewhere?

Answer 2

Your body will get rid of the beer for you if your life is in danger.  (Blow chunks!)  Too much liquor consumed too quickly overwhelms the body's natural defenses and your body shuts down before your body can react, resulting in death.
