Method Intravenous alcohol?

Research intentions.

The major problem with ODing with alcohol is the vomiting and the time to get there that you will need. So why injecting alcohol in a vein wouldn't be a good method? Just doing some thinking here.

The effect of the alhocol in blood is blazingly fast, the only problem i see would be not injecting the needed amount in time and getting super drunk before, it would be a mess.

An adult person may have 4.5 ~ 6.0 liters of blood. Alcohol poisoning occurs at 3ml / liter of blood (considering 6 liters of blood, would be need 18ml of alcohol), so it is not unthinkable of getting ethanol, a good syringe of 20ml or more and CTB?

Putting aside how you'd obtain a 20ml medical syringe, I would guess you'd pass out before you could finish injecting it. IVs are slow, not to mention the pain of injecting that much all at once. Deaths from alcohol are usually only possible due to an underlying condition, like liver damage, other drugs, etc. Overall, it doesn't sound reliable, I wouldn't trust a method like that. There's a reason alcohol isn't commonly used as a method.
