Specializes in Psychiatry

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
