∙ 14y agoYes, because at higher levels it can be poisonous and lethal to the human body. Every year, people die from alcohol poisoning. Example: Binge drinking at college parties. If the alcohol level in the blood exceeds the lethal limit, the person dies. Taken in smaller amounts, the alcohol can be broken down by the liver with no harmful effects. Repeated excessive drinking often causes serious health problems including liver failure.

Other types of alcohol ARE definitely poison and can definitely cause death when drunk.
