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 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 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 What exactly do you mean by alcohol poising? Were you in the hospital and diagnosed? More information would be helpful in answering your question.
Avatar m tn Hello Sir, My father consumer alcohol over past few days before 5th of august this month, and that alcohol contains huge amount of methanol. As a result he got breathing problem in 5th of august and admitted to hospital due methanol poisoning which created acidosis or something like that. He had to stay for few days over there. During that time he went through ccu, icu and hdu.
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, I am a 24 year old female from the UK. I drank once or twice a week socially up until about 3 months ago. I went out one night, had around 5 vodka and cokes. Went home and couldn't sleep. Around 3 hours after my last drink, I was wide awake with stomach pains, diarrhoea, nausea and my whole body was shaking uncontrollalbly. Right before it happens my hands and feet and then my whole body go extremely cold.
Avatar m tn 9) joint pain - like flu but also only on the first two days of episode I was admitted to the hospital one time in my worst episode, they diagnosed it as food poisoning (in The Bahamas) but another doctor later said I probably had alcohol poisoning. Is this alcohol or food poisoning? I do drink a lot and I eat a lot of seafood. I live in The Bahamas and in the Dominican Republic.

Avatar m tn a persons tolerance can increase through repeated abuses, but in general that type of drinking indicates an increased potential risk of developing full blown alcoholism in addition to acute alcohol poisoning. to answer your question, yes, that could be at worst fatal, and at best a prelude to disaster.
Avatar m tn t mention anything about alcohol poisoning? Do you think I could be experiencing symptoms from that? The hospital was not my medical provider so they did not mention much and when I woke up I did not ask many questions, I was still confused.

Avatar m tn When i took him to the hospital, they said his BAC was 3 times the legal limit and moved him to the back of the ER to wait-out his condition for 8hrs before releasing him without doing further tests. He was unable to remember the time from his first stumble until 1 hour after being in the hospital but was semi-conscious the whole time.
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...
498656 tn?1213446919 "I cannot drink responsibly and 1 drink leads me to 7-9 drinks until I pass out." There are plenty of alcoholics on this forum who understand what you mean about not being able to stop but at some point you have two options - drink or die. I'd doubt that drinking will be a problem for you for very much longer - once your liver becomes cirrhotic and you need a transplant maybe it will be the trigger you need to quit before you die.
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 He should go to a large hospital near you where they have hepatologists (experts in liver disease) that are experienced in diagnosing and managing advanced liver disease. Emergency doctors are good at saving lives but they are not experts in liver disease. As you may or may not know a person can not live without a functioning liver. Unless he gets help and stops drinking his prognosis is not good. Get a referral from the hospital your son is in to see a gastroenterologist or hepatologist.
Avatar m tn You say She goes through serious withdrawals that land Her in the hospital. She could die from alcohol poisoning with that amount. That is a LOT of alcohol for anyone. In my opinion this Woman needs serious intervention. How long has She been doing this?
Avatar n tn RNA based virus that highjacks liver cells to do the work of the virus instead of the proper liver cell function (filtering out garbage like alcohol, drugs, chemicals, other stuff that should not be there). RNA viruses are not the strongest so some people's immune systems manage to clear it. Usually does not show symptoms until the liver is wrecked. Some people live their whole lives with it and keep it at bay.
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 If that had happened to me during the Incivek stage I would have had to stop treatment. I am pretty lucky because I am a retired firefighter and one advantage is I still have many friends on the job, some of which (whom shall remain anonymous) came over twice and gave me a total of 4000 ccs of normal saline and ringers lactate. I also got Thiamine and D50W. This probably saved me a trip to the hospital. I went to wally world and bought 4 litres of pedialite.
Avatar m tn He ruled out MS and similar diseases as well as brain tumors and heavy metal poisoning. I am in good health except for the GP which is more of an irritant than it is debilitating. Thanks for your response.
Avatar f tn Poison control are great about giving advice on toxic indigestions but they do not know exactly how much your baby ingested and generally speaking, neither do you. Your baby is at risk for possible alcohol poisoning. Hand sanitizer that contains strong fragrance are much more dangerous then those that do not, as they continue a higher alcohol percent. I recommend you have your baby taken to the hospital!! I can't believe your baby drank enough to get sick from, it taste horrible!!!
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 m tn It does not have to be vodka, it can be any type of alcohol, even wine and beer, in fact all alcohol, if drunk excessively will make you ill. Not only that it can damage your liver and other internal organs as well as destroying brain cells. Alcohol is also addictive, so it is best to limit your intake and have a drink occasionally. One average sized glass of wine is fine with a meal.
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!
