Signs of Alcohol Poisoning

 
 

Alcohol poisoning is a life-threatening emergency.
What to look for:
 
    Confusion, stupor
    Vomiting
    Seizures
    Slow, irregular breathing
    Low body temperature, bluish skin
It's easy to blow off these symptoms as the price of partying hard, but if you see someone vomit multiple times or pass out after drinking heavily, there’s a risk of severe dehydration or brain damage. Call 911 - it's better to risk being "uncool" - you could be saving someone's life. And don't run it by the person who is drunk first - they likely will refuse your plan.
