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 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 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 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 go to the doctor, and be careful. college is where many find out about alcohol poisoning first hand, and yes it can kill you.

672475 tn?1227793166 ve ever drank in my life by far, and I took the hard alcohol all in about a 5-10 minutes. I seem to get most dizzy when forced to focus on a few things at a time, like when driving I feel very dizzy and spaced out. Right now I'm also in lala land, as I prob will be for the rest of the day. Any help would be great, I'm so scared I messed myself up for good, I've read that drinking to much to fact and pretty easily mess a person up for good...
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 m tn s blood alcohol level and the rate of increase in blood alcohol. Consuming a lot of drinks in a short period of time (binging), particularly on an empty stomach, increases risk. After a blackout, a person has no memory of what happened during the period of time that their brain's record button was blocked. Since a blackout occurs when one is highly intoxicated, it often happens when a person is exhibiting poor judgment and diminished impulse control. A lot can happen during a blackout.
Avatar f tn They may act totally out of character. When large amounts of alcohol are consumed in a short period of time, alcohol poisoning can result. Alcohol poisoning is exactly what it sounds like — the body has become poisoned by large amounts of alcohol. Violent vomiting is usually the first symptom of alcohol poisoning. Extreme sleepiness, unconsciousness, difficulty breathing, dangerously low blood sugar, seizures, and even death may result. And that is just the effects of Alcohol on the brain.
Avatar f tn I remember throwing up and then passing out again. I slept for 8 hour. I read that alcohol poisoning can cause dehydration, leading to low blood pressure and low supply of oxygen to the brain. Also, that alcohol in high doses can slow your breathing, also causing inadequate supply of oxygen to the brain. Did I suffer alcohol poisoning? What are the chances that I my brain starved of oxygen while I was passed out? It’s possible that I suffered some kink of brain damage from this single episode?
Avatar m tn t be withdrawal because I still quite obviously have alcohol in my system. All I was able to find was how alcoholics can suffer from seizures and shaking after quitting drinking. Moreso, these shakes are quick and as I am drinking. And to be frank, it won't stop me from drinking, but I was curious as to why my body experiences this.
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!
1284022 tn?1291358549 Eventually, just a few months before my 21st, I was given a drunk in public ticket, and woke up in jail in a city 40 miles from my house (weird experience as I was still drunk after release) and I don't even know what happened besides what people told me (bad sign). All in all, alcohol was messing up my life, even though I only drank on the weekends, yet I had no clue. Alcoholism didn't cross my mind until my family intervened after this last ticket.
Avatar f tn I'm a freshman in college. Just been eating food on campus. I did have Panda Express a week ago idk if that could be it.... I do have a picture of it. Wonder if anyone could tell by looking at it. Guess I'll just go to the doctor if it happens again.
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 m tn So did they treat you for alcohol poisoning?What was your blood alcohol level?
Avatar f tn Right when all this anxiety started, before I knew what a problem it was, I stumbled across a few articles about people my age who had died in their sleep. One was a girl who died from alcohol poisoning, so that one didn't freak me out so much, but there was a more recent event where a college football player died in his sleep, and there are still no answers as to why.
Avatar n tn you go to hospital the tell you you have alcohol poisoning then leave next you can sto p throwing up you are 66 years old how do you help aperson from dead the drink 8 gallons of moonshine in 8 days 1 gallon aday help for a friend.in the hill of ky.
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 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.
