Alcohol poisoning threat

Alcohol poisoning threat of life and must not be underrated when addressing addiction related complications

Alcohol poisoning threat of life: Intoxication

Alcohol may be your favorite drink but what you may not know is that it is a silent killer? Alcohol poisoning threat and intoxication to health explain how best we can describe the dangers associated with the continued consumption alcohol. Experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury reiterates that because of alcohol hundreds of people perish annually from acute alcohol intoxication. It is regrettable that as things stand now if nothing is done drastically to contain the situation, alcohol poisoning is steadily increasing in learning institutions of various levels. In plain terms, drinking too much repeatedly too fast can kill you. I don’t mean to scare anyone with my choice of words, but I am only stating as it is because the picture we see on the adverts is total fiction meant to bring many into the consumption basket for an imminent destruction at an appropriate time. Why then do we say that alcohol poisoning links with threats of life can be a medical emergency? Let’s find out progressively.

Alcohol poisoning threat of life: The alcohol medical emergency

There is nothing good about alcohol. And being a depressant drug, once it is administered into the body through ingestion, it immediately starts it act of damage by working round the clock to slow down some of the body’s vital functions including heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. Progressively this will continue as users continue in their habit and when the vital centers have been depressed enough by alcohol, it then leads to unconsciousness. Doctor Akoury is registering that it is very important to appreciate that, besides this, the amount of alcohol that it takes to produce unconsciousness is dangerously life threatening and very close to a fatal dose. Therefore the consequences of this are that those individuals who survive alcohol poisoning sometimes suffer irreversible brain damage.

Nonetheless, one very important point to note is that alcohol abuse knows no boundaries and therefore everyone can fall to it. I was talking to some student in one of the learning institutions and it is worrying that many students are in the dark and were surprised to learn that death can occur from acute intoxication. According to the students, it was evident that most of the young people often think that the worst that can happen when they are intoxicated is that they will just pass out and have a hang-over the next day. That is the highest order of ignorance which is very harmful to our young people. It is, therefore, our duty to impact positively on them by creating awareness about the dangers of alcohol poisoning and intoxication threats to health by all means. That is to say that knowing the signs and symptoms of acute alcohol intoxication and the proper action to take can help you avoid a tragedy. And before we get to the signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning, I want to make a passionate appeal to everyone out there and particularly the young people that if you are taking alcohol, it is not good for your health and so you need to seek help now by consulting with the experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center by scheduling an appointment so that you can have a one on one discussion with the experts today.

  • Unconsciousness or semi-consciousness
  • Slow respirations (breaths) of eight or less per minute, or lapses between respirations of more than eight seconds.
  • Cold, clammy, pale, or bluish skin.

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.
