You can't reasonably consume enough alcohol in one place to kill yourself. This does not happen.

You can, especially with higher-potency alcohols.
LD50 of drinking alcohol: 2 - 7 g / kg
So, for a < 100 kg person: 200 - 700 g
That's 500 g - 1.75 g of 80-proof liquor
At 1 g/ml, that's 0.5 -> 1.75 L of 80-proof liquor
Basically, drink a large bottle of vodka, and you are getting close to the LD50 of liquor.
