Question 1

my friend is a drunk. how can i help them?

Accepted Answer

Help with what?: If you want your friend to stop drinking, he or she has to want to or it doesn't work. Alanon is a 12-step organization designed for friends and loved ones of people with alcohol problems, and can help you deal with your concern, anger, guilt and other mixed emotions. We often 'enable' drinkers to keep drinking in ways we dont always understand and alanon can help reduce this.Don't nag-not helpful

Question 2

what to do if i feel gross after drunk hookup?

Accepted Answer

Conscience: You are demonstrating that you have one.  You feel gross after drunk hook-ups because 1)you were drunk, which over time is going to catch up with you and impact your health and 2)a hook-up is dangerous in terms of your safety, sexually transmitted diseases (including AIDS and hepatitis, as well as syphilis, gonorrhea etc.).Get some counseling and start to find healthier relationships&amp;STOP DRINKING

Question 3

what's the difference between being high and drunk?

Accepted Answer

Not medical terms: These are not medical terms for intoxication from a substance, intoxication is a set of symptoms of acute effects from any mind altering substance be it alcohol or "drugs"

in every day usage however, being drunk usually refers to drinking too much alcohol, and being high refers to effects of just about every other substance ex. Marijuna, cocaine, heroin, etc.

Question 4

is there any way to sober up more quickly while being drunk?

Accepted Answer

Sober up: The rate at which your liver eliminates alcohol is constant, so you cannot sober up any faster when you are drunk.

Question 5

could it be healthy to feel sick four days after getting drunk?

Accepted Answer

No, it's not healthy: To get drunk, period.  Hangovers can last for a couple of days in serious cases, but 4 days is unusual.  You may have developed alcohol-induced gastritis, an inflammation of the stomach, or pancreatitis.  I would see your physician asap for an evaluation.  Your body is giving you a message that you are drinking excessively, and you need to listen to it. Cut down or stop, get help if you can't.

Question 6

please advise if it's normal to feel sick four days after getting drunk?

Accepted Answer

It can be: After a severe hangover, but may also indicate that you have developed alcoholic gastritis, pancreatitis or hepatitis.  I would see a physician if you are not feeling better after this much time, where a full history, physical examination and some simple laboratory tests can tell you what is, or isn't going on.  And don't drink that much in the future. If that is hard, get some help cutting down.

Question 7

what to do if i got really drunk and still don't feel good, on the forth day?

Accepted Answer

See your health care: provider.  Hangovers can last several days, and 4 days is not unusual, particularly if it was a very heavy drinking episode. In this case, an ounce of prevention is worth MORE than a pound of cure, and you need to sharply reduce your intake of alcohol. You may have caused some pancreatic or liver inflammation, and that may be why you still don't feel well. If you need help cutting down, talk to MD

Question 8

need advice on what is the the difference between the high feeling and the drunk feeling?

Accepted Answer

Lots of things: Intoxication is a continuum, from very mild feelings of euphoria with low alcohol levels, to lots of euphoria and disinhibition with moderate levels, to slurred speech, impaired gait, judgement, reflex times etc. Etc. With higher than moderate levels.  People who drink regularly get tolerance, and need more and more alcohol to produce the same feelings.  Depends on how fast, how much, what kind...

Question 9

i feel more like the real me when i'm drunk/stoned than i do when i'm sober. is this weird?

Accepted Answer

I would call it sad : Before i would refer to it as "weird". This suggests that you are in an intoxicated  (alcohol &/ or drugs) state a fair amount. This may also mean that you feel more disinhibited when intoxicated. Please remember that the effects of your drug & alcohol use are likely to catch up with you at some time.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

ER: Go immediately to the emergency department.  Many dog medicines are made of the same ingredients as human meds but this situation warrants a trip to the ed.
