The main ingredient in anti-freeze is ethylene glycol and you would get ethylene glycol poisoning.

The major danger from ethylene glycol is ingestion. Due to its sweet taste, children and animals will sometimes consume large quantities of it if given access to antifreeze. Upon ingestion, ethylene glycol is chemically broken down in the body into toxic compounds. It and its toxic byproducts first affect the central nervous system, then the heart, and finally the kidneys. Ingestion of sufficient amounts can be fatal.

Basically, your insides turn to goo.

Ethylene glycol causes the kidneys and the liver to shut down and your body simply poisons itself to death with it's own waste..

If this is a serious scientific question, which I doubt, check here:

Otherwise, listen to the other answers. It killed our cat.

honestly, y would you do that, but from what i have heard, if you accidently drink the green stuff, you will die, almost instantly, the orange stuff is more enviromently friendly and wont kill u unless you make a diet of it! my advice to you, is DONT DRINK IT!!!!
