The medulla is the part of your brain that controls basic survival functions such as breathing and heartbeat. When you've consumed so much alcohol that the medulla is affected, your brain's ability to control respiration and heart rate is severely diminished. Your heart rate can drop and breathing cease, causing death, at blood alcohol levels as low as .30%.
Commercial accidents also have been reported to involve a high rate of alcohol abuse; an example of this occurred during 1991- a subway motorman that was drinking derailed a train that was carrying hundreds of passengers. As a result of this alcohol related accident, 5 people were killed and well over 200 were injured.
Adolescents seem to have a higher tolerance for the negative immediate effects of heavy alcohol consumption, such as feeling ill and nauseated.
Drinkers who consume alcohol mixed with energy drinks are 3 times more likely to binge drink than those who do not report mixing alcohol with energy drinks.
