Binge Drinking: Alcohol acts to depress your central nervous system, and its effects are worse the more you drink and the faster you drink. Alcohol first impairs coordination, balance, and walking. With more alcohol, one becomes very tired and can go into a coma and stop breathing. So drinking in excess as you described can be dangerous to your health and even your life.

Confusing question: The expected effect will be drunkenness. Depending on how fast the ingestion occurs, the kid could enter an alcohol induced stupor and quit breathing (if rapid) or just be drunk for many hours if not.
