#Trending Series: Pt 6: What Is Alcohol Poisoning?


Listen Later

Alcohol is a depressant, it affects your nervous system and slows down your breathing, heart rate and other important tasks your body does. Mike & Glenn share their experiences with alcohol poisoning - from friends who have been hospitalized, friends that didn’t have a chronic drinking problem and died from alcohol poisoning, and even being in the hospital for alcohol poisoning themselves.

Think someone you know has alcohol poisoning?

Do:

  • Call 9-1-1
  • Don’t leave them alone
  • Try to get them sitting up
  • Cover them with a warm blanket
  • Keep them from choking

Don’t:

  • Give them a cold shower - it can lower body temperature
  • Don’t give them food - it can lead to vomiting
  • Don’t have them walk it off - it can lead to a fall
  • Don’t try to get them to throw up - it can cause choking
