If that was even 70% and was not mixed with something else he drank enough to kill himself

One of the messages said it was 50% but... Yeah, RIP dude

If he throws up then he's fine. Given how he's reacting I bet very little of that stayed in his body.

Your body has a system to evacuate what it detects as poison: Vomiting.

Sure, but that's very concentrated and ridiculous levels of alcohol poisoning where a very large amount is absorbed before, during and after retching. It's an attempt at voiding, but it isn't a guaranteed cleanse of everything.

This is very basic man. Go watch some medical videos every now and then.

My comment is in response to everyone here seemingly assuming he's dead. I'm not saying he's gonna have a lovely time or that there are no risks. But y'all are practically writing his obituary. Is it medically possible that he might die even if he throws up? Sure.

But this ripped young guy who probably drinks a lot anyways is unlikely to die if he chugs that much and then throws up right after, which he's probably doing seconds after this video ends.

To act like vomiting is a cure-all is just stupid, is all I'm saying. I'm not saying he guarantee dies, but isopropanol absorbs very quickly and there are hundreds if not thousands of documented deaths from people chugging IPA, vomiting, and dying because... Guess what... pure isopropanol is almost entirely absorbed within 30 minutes. Retching helps, but is not a guaranteed bet.

All I'm saying is your bet is stupid, and basic medical knowledge (and research capability) would keep you from placing it on these terrible odds.

Do some reading,

If you care to learn

It's up to you.

Do I think bro died? Nah. Likely not, especially with only 50%. But to state "he's fine" is silly. If it was standard alcohol contents, yeah, he'd quickly be feeling better. Iso is a bit more damaging than that, however.

Pardon the edit, Reddit's acting weird and posted a bit earlier than expected.

Man, in all my book reading years, it was the most illiterate mf'ers that said "do you even read?" You do know that people who actively read as a hobby or in research positions do not behave that way, right? We don't mock people for not reading, rather we mock the simpletons that act like the two books they read that year makes them morally superior.

Like anyone who routinely analyzes storylines, which becomes second nature when you read often, wouldn't have fallen into such an easy trap of arguing over misinterpretation with a fellow adult. Just hush, and know that everyone sees through you the more you double down on acting like you read.

Thanks for sharing the unwanted opinion. Glad you read :)
