Via ambulance: In such a situation, the usual action is to call 911 for an ambulance to take the patient to the emergency room. Of course, the patient must work with her doctor so to never drink alcohol again. Quitting alcohol should be done with monitoring from her doctor. Quitting is absolute, meaning the patient cannot go back to drinking a little bit. It's an "all or none" decision; she must choose "none".
