Imm not into drugs and I’m not really interested in that topic but I always wondered how drugs can kill someone. Obv I know that the organs shut down and everything but why are they shutting down specifically?

Nobody has really touched on how overdoses effect the liver, so I’ll try. When you consume certain substances like alcohol or analgesics (pain killers) they are metabolised inside your liver and changed into forms that are easier for your body to use and that are also non-toxic. This process can also create substances that are harmful in large quantities. When you overdose on alcohol, otherwise known as alcohol poisoning, you liver is overwhelmed by the amount of alcohol and tries it’s very best to process it but the substances end up in your blood because your liver cannot keep up, this damages organs.
You can technically overdose on anything your body uses, this includes the sun, water and oxygen. Whilst it’s incredibly hard to naturally achieve this, ways that we artificially expose ourselves to these things like sun beds, oxygen tanks and diuretics can cause overdose.
