I know someone who survived doing that. Especially impressive since he managed to stall his car on a railroad crossing. The car wasn't even totalled according to the insurance company.
Mixing large doses of benzos and any other sedative is a bad idea. Benzos have a remarkably high therapeutic ratio by themselves, but it disappears very quickly when other CNS depressants get added to the mix.

He will sleep like the dead for a long time, but should survive...let's just say my teenage years hit me hard...and I only weighed 98lbs...so if you are super worried take him to a hospital...we are stoners not doctors for christsakes!

You guys are missing the point - the ld50 for diazapines is very very high, it is rare that anyone dies of an overdose of xanax or valium but start mixing them with alcohol and you can very very easily die either from aspirated vomit or simply from cardiovascular arrest. Never drink and then take downers - if you must mix them take the pills first and then take no more. You will likely pass out before you can drink too much on top of the pills.

In studies using rates the oral LD50 for alprazolam ranged from 331 to 2171 mg/kg. So a person weighing 70 kg would have to take 23170 mg minimum in order to risk death in 50 percent of all cases. 90 mg is far far far from a dangerous dose. - - unless he is drinking.

When you drink alot a pint of gin, and take that much, nope, i say he would deserve what he gets :)

And on the broad scale of things, my opinion is that people have the power of choice, there is noone forcing it down his throat, i have zero sympathy for folk overdosing or getting addicted to stuff like this. To me it just seems like common sense. It's like trying to feel sympathetic for a junkie, at the end of the day the vat majority know exactly what they're letting themselves in for.

Well I was responding to your statement. I know a hell of a lot of people who deserve great things and don't ever get them and I know a number of people who deserve nothing at all but seem to get the best of every situation they find themselves in - hence my statement.
