Alexander the Great, a figure known for his military genius and charismatic leadership, lived from 356 to 323 BCE, dying at the young age of thirty-three. His death was the result of a combination of factors, including the injuries he sustained during battles, alcohol consumption, and overall exhaustion. During his return to Babylon after a grueling campaign in India, these elements likely contributed to his decline in health and subsequent death. After a night of heavy drinking with his generals, as was custom for Macedonian and Greek leaders, Alexander succumbed to his condition. There was speculation about the exact cause of his death, with theories ranging from malaria to poisoning, but the immediate circumstances point towards the aforementioned causes being the primary contributors.
