How to treat a alcohol overdose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How much ?: In many cases the person can just be watched & treated with supportive care/IV fluids as their body breaks down the alcohol. In rare cases the alcohol may be at toxic enough levels that they need to be mechanically ventilated during the process.
