GEEZ, I’VE BEEN ON A FEW HARD CORE BENDERS IN MY LIFE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO END UP IN THE HOSPITAL? I’VE WOKEN UP AND WISHED I WAS DEAD BUT REALLY HOW MUCH DOES IT TAKE FOR POISONING?
Ask the Hoff; he knows.
(Also, your caps lock is on FYI.)
I have a sister and it seemed the ambulance would be showing up almost every week.
Usually for the stomach pump, charcoal down the stomach rutine.
This was back in her late teens, early 20’s.
20 years later it’s still a nightmare.
Less than you might think. A maintenance-level alcoholic is already running pretty close to body tolerance without even getting much of a buzz. All it takes is the determination to get that good old party feeling and you can go from happy to dead without a lot of extra effort.
In some cases this particular addiction is incurable short of death. Prayers up for Mr. Hasselhoff.
One guy I was in the army with, a small guy, got alcohol poisoning by drinking a 180 proof booze in Germany that I don’t remember the spelling of. He ended up in the hospital and stopped drinking after that.
Depends on you body weight and your liver’s ability to process alcohol. The longer one drinks in an alcoholic fashion ( over the years) the less efficient the liver ( and other body organs) are at processing the alcohol.
I’ve seen a long term drunk manage to poison themselves on less then eight ounces -— timing is everything.
Exactly what I’m wondering. I got sick of being sick every weekend a few years back and became a one glass of good Scotch per week drinker. Now I wish I had all the money back I wasted in bars for 15 years.
For some.............. the first drink....
Good question. I used to work with a guy who was in his late 50’s who would drink at least a half pint every day after work. I watched him down pints like he was drinking a soda pop. This went on for years and as far as I know he still drinks like that. Never heard of him getting alcohol poisoning of having to take a trip to the ER.
