You hear this sometimes “oh Jimmy? Yeah he drank himself to death after his wife died” But this actually possible? Does the body reach a point where it can’t process alcohol at a certain point?

There are probably better worded answers but I personally know someone who did exactly this and from what I can recall, the depressant effects of alcohol slowed his breathing so much that eventually just stopped altogether. His brain was deprived of oxygen for quite a while and he died in the hospital a couple days later.
