When you're the person in charge, you should consider all of the alternatives, including the worst case. It's not like alcohol poisoning and deaths are unusual.

This is a really good point. Passing out, like a hangover headache, is just considered par for the partying course. It shouldn't be. It's normal for moderate amounts of alcohol to make a person sleepy. In contrast, passing out is NOT normal, even though it is common. If you pass out -- that is, if you look like you're sleeping, but people can't wake you up -- then you're in danger. That's not sleep; it is a COMA.
If people are falling asleep at your party, you better be trying to wake them up, and if they don't wake up, you better be calling 911.
