Question 3

Accepted Answer

Don't understand ?: Detoxification is the process of helping people who are dependent on alcohol (or other drugs) get their body back to normal after stopping the drug.  Most people who enter "detox" programs are under the influence of their drug, although some will enter after they begin to experience withdrawal - shakes, sweating, anxiety etc. The presence of absence of intoxication doesn't change length of detox.

Question 4

why do drunk people breathe rapidly?

Accepted Answer

They don't always: Most people do not either increase or decrease their respiratory rate with mild to moderate intoxication, and with severe intoxication their breathing may actually slow down.  If respirations are rapid, it may be due to alcoholic ketoacidosis, a metabolic disturbance caused by alcohol that causes the body to hyperventillate to get rid of carbon dioxide and compensate for acidosis.

Accepted Answer

Being drunk: Alcohol is a substance that disinhibits you -- meaning you just respond without thinking.

Depending on who you're with and what you're saying to them (or them to you) this can be dangerous.
