Question 3

what are the symptoms of alcohol poisoning?

Accepted Answer

Serious: Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. Drinking too much can lead to a coma and loss of protective reflexes that prevent you from aspirating and keep you breathing. People can vomit and aspirate it into their lungs. They can be so drunk, they can stop breathing. These effects are magnified if alcohol is used with other meds that are sedating, like opioids or benzodiazepines. Be careful!

Question 4

Question 5

what happens with blood alcohol poisoning?

Accepted Answer

Not sure what you: mean by "blood alcohol poisoning."  We measure alcohol in the blood, but alcohol poisoning is essentially an overdose of alcohol, which results in unconsciousness, progressing sedation with the potential for vomiting and aspiration with pneumonia, and gradually increasing respiratory depression, which if severe and untreated can lead to death, or survival with brain damage and other complications.

Question 6

how do i know if i have alcohol poisoning or virus?

Accepted Answer

Some perspective : It might be obvious but if consumed copious amounts of alcohol and feel bad afterwards, it's probably due to the alcohol. Alcohol poisoning is a serious medical issue and being you are posting may preclude you from that. Viruses encompass a huge array of symptoms. If you think you have alcohol poisoning get to a hospital.

Question 7

is alcohol poisoning always fatal? how does it kill people?

Accepted Answer

Not Always: It is not always fatal.The risk of death is due to respiratory problems, aspiration pneumonia leading to respiratory arrest in sleep, seizures and coma.

Question 8

what will happen in the hospital if you get alcohol poisoning?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If for ethanol it depends on the blood level, and how much of what for how long 1 beer=1shot=a6-8 oz glass of wine. If consumption is more than 6-8equivalents consistently for more than 10-14 days you will be assessed and given supportive meds, hydration, etc. based on withdrawal sis benzodiazepines are often used to taper off. If in doubt go to ER or detox program

Question 9

what is the level of blood alcohol that means you have alcohol poisoning?

Accepted Answer

It varies: Alcohol poisoning refers to an extremely intoxicated state. Because the body develops tolerance to alcohol with daily, chronic use, the degree of intoxication varies dramatically at a given blood alcohol level depending on the tolerance of the person. In other words, a person who almost never drinks might suffer "alcohol poisoning" at a relatively low blood alcohol level.

Question 10

i'm in so much pain can't sleep, what long term damage can alcohol poisoning cause?

Accepted Answer

You mean, other than: Killing you or causing permanent brain damage?  You need to see a physician, either your pcp or a pain specialist to look for the cause of the pain, and appropriate ways to treat it.  Alcohol intoxication may temporarily cause you to fall asleep, but there often a fine line between the amount of alcohol that causes sleep and that which causes coma and death.
