Rule of 3. Minutes without Air, 3 Days without water, 3 weeks without food.

Longer than they can without water.

5 days without eating and only 3 days without water. Alcohol is a diuretic, so it would definately shorten the time. seriously? not very long, the person will most likely die of alcohol poisoning..

There's a saying I've heard:
3 weeks without food
3 days without water
3 minutes without air

Now I'm dont know if just drinking alcohol would speed up the 3 weeks, but im sure it would.

Drinking ALCOHOL constantly? Depending on what the person is drinking and at what rate, they can be dead of alcohol poisoning within HOURS.

Without the assanine alcohol addition:

A person can live up to 30 days on a food-less fast but only 3 days without water before the body begins to break down.

The above also depends on environmental conditions, such as heat and physical exertion. when the body doesn't eat it feeds off itself,which poisons your body.You don't die from not eating,you die from the poison your body creates as a result of not eating food.
