Hello, i dropped my tv remote in my drink, i was pretty intoxicated at the time and continued to drink after taking it out. is this toxic? the drink had alcohol if that makes a difference?

Define toxic from your vantage point. The tv remote did not alter the drink to any significant degree. Ethyl alcohol breaks down to byproducts that include formaldehyde, which is what is used to preserve autopsy specimens. It is quite toxic. If you are drinking to that level of intoxication the practice is toxic by itself.

Alcohol is more toxic than the TV remote. From your behaviour, you seem to have already damaged your brain and need to quit drinking before you make it worse.
