People don't die from vomiting that way. My aunt almost died from choking on her vomit.
What happens is you would get drunk, or be very sick, lay down on your stomach, and throw up, and not wake up, and the throwup would choke you to death.
That's why whenever someone passes out you always put them on their side.
At least I do anyway.

In reality all of us here are playing out this scenario just different goals, we put our bodies through god awful time spent working out and eating to a near perfect point for years to MAYBE reach a goal.

I believe it was AC/DC's lead first lead singer that choked on his own vomit and died? Or maybe Hendrix...don't feel like looking it up.
And to the dieing from hot water - There was a kid around here a very long time ago that went to get in a hot tub at some family get together (threw the lid back and jumped right in) and the water was practically boiling. His dad tried to pull him out but he was pretty much just pulling off skin. So while the odds are against all of these things...they do happen.

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic -- on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg -- or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
