Alcohol poisoning indicators: Appropriate action plan

In the fight against addiction, it is always very important that we have some sought of a work plan that is to say things that we can do to salvage the situation whether we are affected directly or indirectly and they may include the following:

If you encounter a person who exhibits one or more of the signs and symptoms, do what you would do in any medical emergency: Call 911 immediately.
While waiting for 911 emergency transports gently turn the intoxicated person on his/her side and maintain that position by placing a pillow in the small of the person’s back. This is important to prevent aspiration (choking) should the person vomit. Stay with the person until medical help arrives.

Finally, several studies have established that binge drinking use by youth and young adults increases the risk of both fatal and nonfatal injuries. In fact, research has also shown that teenagers and other children who use alcohol before age 15 are five times more likely to become alcohol dependent than adults who begin drinking at age 21. This should resonate to all of us of the dire consequences of alcohol poisoning. Besides, that other consequences of youth alcohol use may include increased risky sexual behaviors, poor school performance, increased risk of being a victim of violence or sexual assault and increased risk of suicide and homicide. In other words, alcohol has nothing good to offer your health irrespective of your age.
