What to do if i have alcohol poisoning, should i go to the doctor?

Not if you can type: Alcohol poisoning causes people to be highly intoxicated to the point of falling asleep, then getting deeper to the point of stupor and coma, often with slowing down of breathing to the point of lowering blood oxygen to the body and brain, and causing brain damage and even death. Vomiting and aspirating stomach contents can lead to pneumonia and death as well. You wouldn't be sitting and typing.
