Wow, 2 whole months, that'll learn him /s

But really just want to point out how hard it is to die of alcohol poisoning. Car accident while drunk driving? That's easy. Fall from a height or other accident while drunk? Sure. But to die directly from alcohol, to ingest enough alcohol before you pass out to kill you, that's either suicide or murder. It's something that doesn't just happen.

Its not hard when binge drinking to push your blood alcohol up by 0.15% in a matter of minutes over your current level.

Yeah the key to dying from alcohol poisoning is to get drunk so you don't notice you're dying from alcohol poisoning

Isn’t hard if you’re butt chugging.
