Etoh: Those are normal numbers. Keep an eye on her respiration while she sleeps it off. It can take hours to metabolize a lot of booze

It depends: It all depends on how much vodka she drank - what her alcohol level is. Her blood pressure is low, so I am a little concerned. The only way to know her blood alcohol level is to do a blood test. If you can't wake her then she needs to go to the ER, and if you have any concerns that she may have had too much to drink, then go to the ER. If her respirations are slow or irregular take her to the ER
