alcohol

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 Its very dangerous to do, hopefully you can stop drinking to such a high degree or quit. Talk to your doctor about alcohol poisoning and he can confirm this.

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 Alcohol poisoning is serious business. Someone who is too drunk can vomit and not be able to protect their airway, and can inhale the vomit and die. At this point, you don't need to see a doctor, since you are feeling well and have cleared the alcohol from your system. When it comes to drinking safely, there are a number of things you can do to avoid this situation in the future.

I am not going to lie and say drinking is not fun because it can be. But ANYONE who drinks needs to know their limit. It is not fun to watch someone **** their pants or puke all over themselves. It is disgusting. There are many reasons why you should not drink but the main one is that you were putting your life at risk.
Avatar n tn I'm a 20 year old male, slim to medium build and I suffer from Existential Anxiety Disorder, with panic attacks, depression and hypochondria. Though I know fine and well the aftermath of a night of drinking, something odd's happened a couple of days ago. Myself and my partnet went to a bar on Thursday night. We both drank amounts of alcohol which normally wouldn't give us hangovers the following day.

Avatar m tn I vomited last saturday night after alcohol. i wasnt that drunk. I have drank more that amount on many occasions and felt fine the day after. However on the sunday i couldnt eat of drink anything without vomiting. I thought this was only symptoms from a hangover even though i never experienced it before. This has continued for a few days now and im still getting sick. i feel very tired and i my heartbeat is very fast.
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 f tn Pump and dump is a myth... alcohol will not metabolize out of your system any faster if you pump, and throwing away perfectly good milk is a complete waste. And anyway, alcohol has absolutely nothing to do with food poisoning. OP - Check with your lactation consultant or pediatrician, continue to pump to keep your supply up, but supplement if necessary until you get an answer from a professional about whether or not continuing to breastfeed while you are sick is advisable.
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 f tn The worst moment was last night when the police stood in front of my door at 2 am in the morning to tell me that my daughter is in the emergency because of alcohol poisoning. I thought she slept over at her friends house which turned out to be not true. I tried now to make wise choices to not loose her and didn't ground her or make a big fuss out of it, I talked to her like always and told her I will always support her.
Avatar f tn I have the same problem! Only Vodka and tequila!!! And to the commenter, it's not a contradiction, and she's not an alcoholic in need of sobriety... I stick to Rum only... Maybe Whisky is your thing... I've tried looking into this and it has something to do with the processing of the plants used to make the alcohol..
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 do think you are on the right track about stopping drinking. Alcohol is not helping you, and if getting drunk is causing you to think that your friend raped you, that's just not good. The symptoms you describe are symptoms of alcohol poisoning, or a severe hangover. An STD would not cause vomiting, headache, and diarrhea the next morning. Excessive alcohol consumption would cause those symptoms, though.
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 didn't get alcohol poisoning from HALF A BEER and who said anything about stopping antidepressants? Zoloft gave me my life back, I don't care about drinking I just wondered why I seem to have developed an alcohol intolerance. Seriously these replies are making it look like I want to just get wasted every day for the rest of my life... no.
Avatar f tn any mind altering chemical is a drug. I think we like to say we are "clean" but if stop using vicodins or percs and still smoke pot or use booze we are not really clean. progress not profection. Hang in there.
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.
Avatar m tn You must have really drank a lot to be up until 4am. A week is a long time to be hung over, but I don't know how much you drank. Maybe you got alcohol poisoning from too much drinking. Can you talk to your parents about this, I would definately try. A visit to the doctor might be good to get tests for toxicity in your liver. Depending how often you drink, you should be concerned with harming your liver.
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.
