According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), a blood alcohol content (BAC) level between 0.31% and 0.45% can be life-threatening, while levels above 0.40% are considered potentially fatal. High BAC depresses the nervous system, compromising vital functions and increasing the risk of coma and death.
