Avatar m tn Think of it as getting lucky this time. There are only so many times you can drink until you have alcohol poisoning without some permanent damage to your liver. Take it from someone that knows. Diagnosed 03-23-10 end stage cirrhosis.
Avatar n tn Overall, dehydration would only concern me as a possible cause of brain damage if alcohol were used to excess (non stop) for many days by an experienced drinker.
Avatar n tn My friend died of alcohol poisoning with a BAC of 0.70 does this not seem extremely high, is this possible?
Avatar m tn Sounds like a bad reaction with another drug you had in your system at the time. 6 oz of beer is not enough to do anything. You symptoms are indicative of another problem and you should see a medical professional.
Avatar m tn t urinate for some reason except once after I started drinking (and I just found out every time you urinate 10% of it leaves your body) and I drank on an empty stomach. Is that enough that I got a small case of alcohol poisoning? I woke up puking everywhere which I never do unless I'm REALLY sick and I was shivering even though my family member says it was hot in here and I don't get cold easily on top of that and I was confused and other unpleasant things.
Avatar f tn Hi Dear Alcohol is a potent depressant of the central nervous system (brain in particular) and activates the inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain. The acute effects of alcohol depend on the concentration of alcohol in the blood (directly correlated with the amount and time of drinking). Initially, alcohol generally produces feelings of relaxation and cheerfulness, but further consumption can lead to blurred vision and coordination problems.
Avatar m tn t keep multiple things in mind at a time.Is it alcohol poisoning or something else.i consulted a psychiatrist and he said it was becoz of sensitivity.If itz a case of sensitivity ,why I m experiencing problems still now after 3 weeks .On the contrary if itz poisoning ,how can small amount of ethanol cause poisoning..?
Avatar f tn ve had an extreme episode. Not quite alcohol poisoning, but so drunk that I browned out memory-wise, and twice blacked out the end of an evening. These incidences were very far apart, like, 6 months or more, over the course of five or 6 years. Last week, I had such an incident and browned out parts of an evening that ended in vomiting up what I'd had to drink. It was on an empty stomach, so I was especially drunk.
Avatar f tn I also wanted to let you know about the harmful effects of Alcohol on the brain and it can cause depression. Alcohol is a depressant, which means it slows the function of the central nervous system. Alcohol actually blocks some of the messages trying to get to the brain. This alters a person's perceptions, emotions, movement, vision, and hearing. In very small amounts, alcohol can help a person feel more relaxed or less anxious.
Avatar f tn I drank one of his alcoholic beverages. It has been a year since I drank it. The drink he made contains %40-45 of alcohol and I drank approximately 400-500 ml of it. I didn't feel bad that night except being drunk. I slept well and even though I have headache too often, I didn't even suffer from headache that day. The thing that I am worried about, is it possible that the alcohol I drank can be methanol and I survived it?
Avatar f tn m a 15 year old girl and drank gulps of vodka In a short amount of time Saturday afternoon. I threw up everywhere and had some symptoms of alcohol poisoning but I was assured I was going to be okay by some friends of mine so we didn't go to the hospital. i didnt pass out but I felt like absolute ****. I have been drinking a lot of water and tea and eating bread and fruits to try and replenish my body but my head still feels fuzzy and I feel a little out of it.
Avatar n tn This is related to drinking........but doesn't mean you shouldn't see a profession.... This is WAY too much booze if it is doing this to your gut never mind the liver and brain! Go see a MD to rule out serious problems.... also note continued abuse of your body will effect many organs! Don't take this lightly ..Alcohol poisoning is not good.
Avatar m tn t drink so much. This is called alcohol poisoning and you can die from it. Please if you do drink again, do so moderately and learn what your limit is. - My limit is 1/2 beer, after that my nose gets numb.
Avatar m tn For 10 months I have had global paresthesia (every part of my body) and have been evaluated for diabetes, heavy metal poisoning, VB12 deficiency, too much VB6, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, lyme disease, and with EMG study.. Diagnosis is idiopathic central nervous system disorder. Treatment is for symptoms - gabapentin and alprazolam.
Avatar n tn I am wondering how you guys turn down alcohol in front of family and friends? I will be going to a big weekend wedding that will last 3 days and interested in tips how to navigate that without raising eye brows. Thanks!
Avatar m tn http://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/OtherAlcoholInformation/factsAboutAlcoholPoisoning.aspx Pay special attention to the symptoms. I know from first hand experience that a lot of things go through your mind when you think someone may have alcohol poisoning, and there is a natural reaction to hope you are wrong and wait to see if the person to be OK, and that people may very well get mad if you are wrong and drag them to the hospital.
Avatar f tn t show any other signs of alcohol poisoning so I was wondering if there was another thing less fatal than alcohol poisoning.
Avatar n tn Even a possibility to alcohol poisoning! Not worth taking the risk again by drinking alcohol for any reason (: Best wishes.

Avatar n tn do u mean .45?or .045?.45 would be heading towards alcohol poisoning and .045 would mean halfway intoxicated..... .08 is legal intox in ohio....think this may be nationwide now!
Avatar f tn Other causes would include micronutrient deficiency (vitamin B complex or vitamin E), neuropathic effects of alcohol, or heavy metal poisoning. A negative scan in the beginning of the symptoms does not rule out a stroke as this can be evolving and may show up in later scans. I suggest that you discuss these options and possibilities with his doctors. I hope he gets well soon. Regards and God bless.
