Can someone overdose from drinking?
A. Yes, people can overdose from drinking. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. It sedates all brain functions, i.e., walking, talking, balance etc. If a person drinks too much alcohol too quickly, it can put their autonomic nervous system to sleep, consequently putting the heart and lungs to sleep, and causing death. They may first experience “passing out”, then coma, then death.
