Question

How long would it take to starve to death, if you only had alcohal to drink? but not much?

Answer 1

If you had beer, you could probably sustain yourself for quite sometime. A nice oatmeal stout, for example, would probably give you sustenance. A low-alcohol ale would probably hydrate enough to get you by.

Answer 2

It takes about ten days [approx] for a human being to starve to death.

You must not be confused between starving to death and being on a starvation diet as is often the case for say millions of refugees in a war-torn zone.  Although these people may not be getting regular food, they will have eaten at last something, probably two or three days down the road as it were.

During WW2 the n**i systematically starved, tortured and killed millions of people, among them the 6-million news.  In typical style, the n***s kept meticulous records of what they were doing.

Answer 3

It depends on the type of alcoholic beverage.    I would be willing to wager that one could survive on beer for at least several weeks.

An interesting fact:  

One gram of pure fat contains 5 calories

One gram of pure alcohol contains 7 calories.  

After a little math,  one gallon of 200 proof moonshine would contain about 25,400 calories.  If you normally consume 2000  calories a day,  that one gallon should last you about 13 days,  plus the 10 days you can live with no food at all,  equals 23 days total.

Answer 4

Technically, a person could stay alive with just water and no food for about seven days.  They would be very weak and not moving much.  The alcohol has carbohydrates, so it would give you a little bit of energy (but no necessary nutrition value).  Some alcoholics eat a large breakfast and drink booze for the remainder of the day--without eating, because they would vomit the food.  That is a very unhealthy practice.

Answer 5

You've gotten answers from a bunch of wusses, I fear. Monks used to go through Lent (40 days), consuming nothing but double bock. That is why the first double bock was called Salvator (Saviour) and subsequent double bocks are traditionally given a name ending in  "-ator". The one I brew is called "Fornicator". I do not, however, try to subsist on only that for any length or time.

Answer 6

you can only live up to 7-14 days without any food if you are a regular sized person. The more fat and/or muscle you have, the longer you can survive without food. When there is no food for the body to process, your body first starts eating away at the extra fat stored in your body. when that is gone, it starts on the muscle, and then everthing just goes to h**l

You can't even live without water for more than about 24-48 hours so drinking only alcohol wouldnt really work.
