Support you through: If you wind up in the hospital for alcohol, the general approach is to make sure you have no traumatic injuries, make sure you are warm and safe while you sober, and hydrate you while correcting any problems with the salts in your blood. At the worst, too much alcohol can stop your breathing, and we'd have to put a breathing tube in until such time as you could breathe on your own.
