Lucifer's case was that of an alcoholic. He developed a very high tolerance for alcohol, claimed he couldn't even get a buzz with 12 or more drinks, and, apparently did so regularly. He believed that, because of this tolerance, he was "protected", and that nothing bad would happen to him.

Gordie's case was rather different. Acute alcohol poisoning by someone who likely never drank quite that much previously, egged on in a social situation where, apparently, it was required.

Tragically, same results.
