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.

Then there is no such thing as a normal dose.

Never said that there was.

The phrase you used.

I actually used the phrase YOUR NORMAL DOSE.

There certainly is for many recreational drug users, legal or illegal.

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.

You most certainly do.

Like hell you do.

The amount of alcohol an alcoholic can consume
and still stand would astound a moderate drinker.
If he stopped for some time and then consumed
the same amount it could easily kill him.

In practice it hardly ever does in comparison with heroin.

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.

You mean my normal dose?

Nope, the normal dose for the individual who has just killed
themselves using it after not using that drug for a while.

Since you can have no idea what that is

Doesn't matter what it actually is, what matters is that
using it at the dose it was used before not using it for
a while can kill you quite easily with heroin but you
hardly ever see that with alcohol, because it has a
much bigger variation between the lethal dose
and the normal dose FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL.

why mention it?

Presumably you actually are that stupid and that's why you need a union.

All you can talk about is your normal dose.

You are wrong, as always.

Meaningless for others.

You are wrong, as always.
