You think an alcohol overdose can't kill you?

Never said that. I clearly said that say doubling your
normal dose is very unlikely indeed to kill you with
beer or wine, all you get is a bad hangover at most.
With some of the illegal drugs it can kill you.

Which of the illegal drugs would kill you if you doubled what
was considered a 'normal' dose for recreational purposes?

It isn't what is considered a normal dose for recreational
purposes, what matters is what THAT PERSON usually has.

That's why heroin users can very easily overdose if they
try to give up and then start using what they had used
previously just before they tried to give up.

You don’t get that effect with alcohol.

Oh - a 'normal' dose of alcohol for a hardened drinker can be
many times that of a moderate one. So there really is no such thing.

I included the word YOUR for a reason.
