Put my mind at ease, what is a lethal dose of alcohol?

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.

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.

two bottles of hard liquor would do it. drank fast enough in a row.
it depends on how used said person is to drinking. not being used to it at all could mean only one bottle of whiskey could kill them. On the other hand doing this all the time would kill you sooner or later too.

My friend Dave drank 750ml bottle of 40 yr old Seagrams VO and got alcohol poisoning. He was about the same weight as her but chicks are usually different. Don't be mad at her, she didn't do it on purposed. There have been times I have done the same thing but I was smart enough to walk and speed up the metabolism and drink tons of water when in that situation. I don't drink anymore, just smoke pot and take suboxone and no adderall. I hate alcohol in general. Like I said about benzos, anything that can kill you when you stop doing it is just plain bad.
I do go on benders once a year or so but I can't with my meds or I can die.

Yeah, except if you don't have insurance they'll charge you $2,000 like they did to me, for an IV of saline and an injection of some yellow shit to kill the nausea. Fucking BULLSHIT. Just walking into the ER costs a grand.
I felt better after.. but I was fucking pissed at my friend for dragging my dry-heaving and puking bile for 2 days ass to the ER. I would have rather suffered.

What if you had died? Sucks of the 2K though.
I hope you're insured now. Especially us druggies need good medical insurance.

They didn't correct you. They were quick replying to your post I believe and correcting the person posting immediately after you who DID use gender specific pronouns.
At least that's how it looks to me.
To the OP:
I know dudes who have had a handle over the course of a night but they had a serious tolerance. It really depends on the person.
Erowid seems to put the lethal dose of booze at somewhere near 500 milligrams of alcohol to each deciliter of blood...
Which is about ten times what is needed to get a decent buzz.
So, if you can get a good buzz off of 2 shots or 3 beers (which would seem likely for a female of that body weight) then 20 shots or thirty beers in rapid succession could do it.
She should be fine I'd say. If she's in the hospital being treated then she was probably taken to be cared for in time.

well she called me today, and she was doing horribly in the ER.
She was slapping nurses trying to help her, and kept saying things that weren't true. And she did stop breathing at one point. If she wasn't at the hospital, who knows what would've happened.
So she definitely was not ok. I still don't know how much she drank, I wasn't with her when this all happened. I'm going to see her today when she wakes up (who knows when that will be).

sounds like she's ok in the sense that she is still alive.
she's lucky.. being reckless and careless like that has cost many people their lives.
you should be grateful that she's still with you and get her some help so she doesn't do this again.
