1 THE ALCOHOL POISONING By Merveille Ngabire

2 WHAT IT IS  Alcohol poisoning is an overdose of alcohol, it is a medical emergency. The person shows sings of alcohol poisoning when he or she doesn’t respond to being yelled at or pinched hard, can’t stand will not wake up, breathes slowly, has purplish and clammy skin, and has a fast heartbeat. A person with alcohol poisoning can die if his or her own vomit while in this condition.

3  Alcohol reduces nerves that control things like breathing and “the gag reflex” (prevents choking). A lot of alcohol will eventually stop these actions… WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BODY WHEN YOU GET ALCOHOL POISONING?

4 IF SOMEONE HAS IT YOU SHOULD:  Know the danger signals.  Do not wait for all indications to be present.  Be aware that a person who has passed out may die.  If there is any suspicion of an alcohol overdose, call 911 for help. Don't try to guess the level of drunkenness.

5  Victim chokes on his or her own vomit.  Breathing slows, becomes irregular, or stops.  Heart beats irregularly or stops.  Hypothermia (low body temperature).  Hypoglycemia (too little blood sugar) leads to seizures.  Untreated severe dehydration from vomiting can cause seizures, permanent brain damage, or death. SOMEONE WITH ALCOHOL POISONING THAT GOES UNTREATED CAN HAVE  Even if the victim lives, an alcohol overdose can lead to irreversible brain damage. Rapid binge drinking (which often happens on a bet or a dare) is especially dangerous because the victim can ingest a fatal dose before becoming unconscious.

6 !!! Don't be afraid to seek medical help for a friend who has had too much to drink. Don't worry that your friend may become angry or embarrassed-remember, you cared enough to help. Always be safe, not sorry.
