Alcohol Poising at 20 beers?

Question

I was wondering if it is possible for someone to drink 20 beers (budweiser select 4.3 alcohol content) and not get alcohol poising, my friend jimmy said he was drunk but did not have alcohol poising, he said he drank 22 beers in a 5 hour sitting, is this possible or will someone likley get alcohol poising from that. thanks all.

btw he is 21, 225 pounds, white male, drinks about 3 times a week

Answer 1

This would depend on your weight, how much you have had to eat (and when) and your tolerance level as well.

If you are a big guy who had something to eat before hand and had at least some kind of tolerance level this might be ok.

BUT if you are smaller and/or had an empty stomach and/or had no or low tolerance this could be pretty dangerous!
