Actually I think you are right on this point . . an adult male that drinks 15 shots is probably just havingn a great time.

0.30 g/210 liters of breath - At this level most people will lose conciousness.
0.40 g/210 liters of breath - At this level most people will become comatose and may die.

I'd say it's valid to take someone to the hospital at this point. If she's a petite girl of 110 pounds, then you're at .40. 15 drinks, 4 hours.

If it's a male of 170 pounds, then you're talking .288. Big difference.

Point is, 15 drinks can kill a woman.
