How Long Could a Human Adult Live Drinking Only Beer?

5 to 8 days.  You'd actually die of dehydration because the alcohol makes you lose fluids and there's not enough water in the beer to counteract it.

That is too much.  I would stick to one beer a night at the most or 2 beer a night every other night.  I know a lot of guys have two or more everyday they get home from work, but then by the time they are thirty or forty they do have a drinking problem and have to give up all alcohol altogether.  And they lose there jobs, smash their cars, break up with their wives, etc.

Weight mostly. The only way you can drink as much as you wan't and not get drunk is you being 20 pounds. Smaller factors such as food are also included.

Just don't drink heavily. If you limit yourself to three 12 oz. beers or less you should be fine.

This is because the yeast in homebrewed soda is is only used for carbonation and the resulting alcohol is very low. Beer is fermented completely in a non pressurized environment and all ferment-able sugars are broken down witch can take 2 weeks and sometimes up to several months. Were as soda is only given about 12 hours, just enough time for the yeast to start working and create CO2 in a closed environment, were that CO2 is absorbed by the liquid. So the main reason is time.

Firstly, I do not buy into the doctrine of either none or lots.  Now then with that said, let me share some data with you.  When I was 23 I got seriously drunk and I went to the toilet and hung my head over the edge of the bowl and I puked and puked then dry heaved until I went to sleep.  When I awoke and noticed all those different pubie/pubic hairs all so variously adhered to its rim with that foul mix of dried yellow dots, I told myself, "I'll never get drunk again."  Now, I know some folk are full of fecal matter and such a self=promise wouldn't amount to a hill of digested beans.  I'm now 62 and that was 39 years ago and I have not been drunk!  I will not drive if I have drank more than two beers and if I come to visit whoever, if a snack included I will drink another if time is in my favor; like no tanking.  They say if three beers a day, then that person is acoholic; I am therefore an alcoholic.  I generally slow-sip about five or six beers per day.  Text-books of medicine proclaim a shot of whyskey per day is beneficial for longivity since it does some beneficial things within your body.  So, when say stop all, I realise they are coming from ignorance and know not what they are saying and I correspondingly bid them a nice day.  I have a bunch of long-term associates and my drinking has never alarmed any of them because they know I will not drink into a stupor and my mind remains entirely sensible.  I suggest to all, if you prefer a beer to a soda, have at it; but by all means, do drink responsibly.  So now you know why I do not listen to a smacked idiot.

Assuming that the person is otherwise healthy (no medical problems, no kidney problems, no ADH regulation problems, etc):\n\nWell, most people can pee about 15 liters or urine in a day.  This is around 4 gallons!\n\nSo, it would HAVE to be much more than this to cause death by hyponatremia!\n\nIF you drank much more over a VERY short period of time (several gallons in an hour), you would probably vomit some back up, too!\n\nFurthermore, as you started to become hyponatremic, you would become nauseated, feel realy sick, get a bad headache, become confused, and lethargic...\n\nThis, in a sense, would save most people's lives...and prevent death.  In other words, they would get too sick to continue to drink enough to die....even in fraternity hazing.\n\nHowever, if someone was forced to drink enough water over a short enough period of time, they could theoretically drink enough to pass out, have seizures, go into a coma...and yes, even die.\n\nIt is hard (at least for me) to even put a rough guess at this number, as I believe every person would be quite a bit different...and the range of amount to death would likely be VERY variable, depending on weight of the person, etc.  Furthermore, it would depend more on the RATE of water consumption than the actual AMOUNT.\n\nSome would NOT be able to drink enough water to kill themselves.  They would feel so awful, they would stop.\n\nMost people that become hyponatremic from drinking "too much" water either have a physical disease (i.e. impaired ADH regulation, etc) and/or they have a psychiatric disease (i.e. pyshogenic polydypsia).\n\nIn psychiatric disease of drinking too much water, it is usually a chronic thing...not an acute thing (i.e. not a "in one sitting" situation).\n\nHowever, if there were an underlying psychological or physiological problem to begin with, then the hazing thing could kill such a person.\n-\n\nFurthermore, most otherwise healthy people would not die from their "water drinking hazing" hyponatremia...they would pass out, maybe have a seizure, go into a coma.  Then, 911 would be called, they'd be taken to the hospital...given medical care...and gradually come out of it with appropriate treatment.\n\nSo, I know you wanted an exact number...but I don't think this can be answered.\n\nA better fraternity haze is to have people drink a gallon of whole milk in 30 minutes!\n\nNO one can hold down a gallon of milk, if they drink it within 30 minutes....and projectile milk vomiting is quite a sight.

1 drink = 1 hour.\n\n1 drink = 1 shot of alcohol, 1 glass of wine or 1 beer.

Anywhere from a few hours days to thousands of years.\n\nSome red algae can compllete ther life cycle in a matter of days and then die. So their lifespan is 24 hours.\n\nIn contrast many single celled filamentous algae are practically immortal. The individuals alive today could have been alive for thousands or millions of years.\n\nRemember red algae is an entire phylum. Asking for the lifespan is as pointless as asking for the life span of flowering plants. And the range is  comparable: anywhere from days to millenia.

That would require decaffeinating.  I'm not prepared to go to such an extreme.  But since I know that almost every other chemical flushes out of your body in 24-72 hours.  I would go with 24-72 hours!

Well, smokers and drinkers usually have shorter life expectancy, but some smoke and drink all their lives and still live to a ripe old age.\n\nIt is hard to predict how long you will live depending on your current health.

Legally, all materials sold for consumption must have an expiration date.  Even distilled water does.

There is absolutely no possiblilty that two twelve ounce beers would give a bac of .214 over five hours after drinking.  Over five hours after drinking two beers, there would be no alcohol in the blood at all.\n\nSomebody is lying.\n\nI'm pretty sure it's the person who claims not to have been drinking.\n\nDoctors generally multiply number of drinks by three and divide time by three to get at the truth.  Using this logic, six beers in an hour and a half sounds like a reasonable way to get a bac of .214

Depends on how old you are now, your current diet, smoking and drinking levels, and genetics (ie how long did your dad live to).\n\nMales tend to die off 2-4 years earlier than women.  The US average for men is around 74yrs.  But with future advancements in organ transplants and medication I can believe we will live well into our 80's
