Theres an extremely good friend of mine in the ER right now, and I need to know what a potentially lethal dose of alcohol.
I don't drink, never really have, so I have no idea, but i need my mind to be at rest here.
How much would you have to drink to have death as a possibility?
weight around 120-130.

i'd have to say a liter of some 80 proof would probably push them over, but if they're in the hospital already, they'll probably end up ok.
they'll give em charcoal and purge em and all that shit.. they'll be ok buddy.

There isn't really a set amount it depends on what is in the stomach at the time. A lot of times if you drink to the point of death, you will actually choke on your tongue or suffocate on vomit.
If he's in the hospital and he's breathing, he'll probably be okay.

I don't know how to feel about it. I'm really really pissed off that this person did this. It's the dumbest thing she's done in a long long time.
I don't know what to do here. I'm just so pissed that she was so fucking reckless.
I talked to her the other day about how she can't have fun without being high anymore, and how that kind of bugs me. She she came up to me yesterday, and told me she hadn't smoked for 4 days, and how it was this big improvement.
Then she does this.

OH FFS, not to sound rude or insensitive to your situation, but girls tend to think they have alcohol poisoning when they get a little more drunk than intended.
Like someone said, she's in a hospital and she's breathing. She'll be ok.
and really, it's hard to say how much will be lethal. It depends on the person's tolerance level, how much they've had to eat that day, how fast their body metabolizes alcohol, the amount of other liver-damaging substances in their body, like APAP, the time frame they drank it in, etc etc

Not to be off topic, and I'm sorry about your freind, but this reminded me of Hunter S. Thompson and saying something like shooting a half pint of rum into your navel gives you a really crazy euphoria. Dunno where that came from but I don't think I could do that shit.

I have wonderd that.
I got to the point where I could drink 3 litres of 7.5% cider in about 3 hours.
I would wake up early in the morning needing water.
I cut down now, I try to just have a bottle of red wine on fridays and a few pints during the week.

I poisoned myself in college. A combo of beer, vodka and tequila...lots of each. Probably should've gone to a hospital. Instead my friends carried me to my room and left me there. Spent a few days going from my bed to the toilet and back to my bed again. Worst, and probably the most dangerous part, was the dehydration after 24 hours or so. Any water I tried to drink came straight back out again. It was the most miserable experience of my life. I would have the flu for a month before ever going through that again!
Too bad I didn't see a doctor. A simple IV to get some fluid into my system would've done wonders. But at the time we were dumb college kids who didn't want to get in trouble for drinking.
But obviously I wasn't at a lethal dose. I'm sure I was walking a thin line though.

yeah, dehydration can be very dangerous after liberal drinking sessions.

man you know every effin doctor show out there always has the scene where the nurses/doctors/interns/WHOEVER comes in hung over and gets an IV to feel better.
WTF. is this service available to the general public? Like can I go to the ER with a hangover and ask for a "banana bag"? There have been times I would gladly pay my $50 ER copay for hangover relief.

In one go, 200-600ml usually is lethal.
