What alcohol limit causes death?

Answer

Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.40% or higher is often fatal, though death can occur at lower levels depending on individual tolerance. This typically corresponds to consuming 15-20+ drinks in a short period for an average adult. A BAC of 0.08% is legally intoxicated in most places, while 0.30% can cause unconsciousness.
