Answer 3

The problem is that symptoms come and go and are not all that obvious to a casual observer. The problem is that alcohol is essentially a depressant, which interferes with your nervous system. If the level gets high enough, your nervous system ceases to operate and you can die. The most common cause for people ending up dead is aspirating vomit. The person throws up and because there is little to no gag reflex left at that point, they literally breathe in the vomit into their lungs and drown. Turning blue comes from suppressing lung functions so much that the person is not breathing enough to keep the blood oxygenated enough to keep external tissues supplied, and the lips are the first part of the body to turn blue from lack of oxygen that you can readily see. By the time you are really in serious trouble, your nervous system is so depressed that symptoms are also suppressed and you do not see anything other than a falling down drunk who is slurring his speech.
