    hiya :]

    my auntiess a doctor or whatever

    and she told me once you only get alcohol poisoning if you binge on loadsa spirits

    like if you drank a litre of neat vodka

    a few shots of whiskey

    e.t.c.

    then youd probably get it

    but you should be fine with 5 smirnoffs :)

    hope that helped abit

    I don't think there is a specific amount, but 5 bottles sounds like quite a bit to me. Entirely possible you could definitely poison yourself with that.

    It just happened here in Minnesota to a 20 yo college girl, just before Christmas. Check out the story at www.startribune.com.

    Be responsible!! Why would anyone need to drink 5 bottles of Smirnoff to begin with?

    How big of a bottle and over how long.? It doesn't matter how big you are( to a certain degree) it takes the liver a certain amount ot time to process, for the average shot(1.5 oz)/ beer or wine 2 to 3 hours Now alcohol poisoning depends on the person. a hangover is alcohol poisoning and you can DIE from alcohol poisoning. Now this doesn't answer your question but you never said how big the bottles were or how long it took you to drink them, so this is the best I can do.

    5 bottles; fine. Over what period of time? Update your question. Normally, 1 is too much, and 5 bottles isn't enough. It's like, question: How far can you walk into a forest? Answer: Half-way; because after that, you're walking out of the forest, not into it.

    this depends entirely upon height, weight, age and how much you've eaten through out the day.

    for a 5'2'' tall 15 year old who weighs 100 lbs this could cause alcohol poisoning. for a 6'5'' 40 year old that weighs 230, this might not even get him buzzed. these number aren't exact, just examples, but you get the point. if your tiny, you can't drink like a person who is twice your size.

    yeah 5 smirnoffs aaint really gonna do much to yeah unless you weight like 70 pounds and havent eatin nothin today.

    smirnoff only has a small amount of alcohol in it.

    it all depends on weight and the amount of time it took to consume it.

    Alcohol poisoning is a big killer amongst young people...if you drink too fast, by the time the alcohol kicks in...it's too late.

    You don't need to drink to have fun.... besides if you have fun wouldn't you rather remember it?
