Patient's question:
My husband went to a dinner party last night. He seemed to drink a lot of alcohol and got blackout drunk. His face was completely red. I suspect my husband might have alcohol poisoning, but I still want to ask the doctor to verify it. What are the symptoms of alcohol poisoning?Doctor's answer:
Mild alcohol intoxication may repeatedly cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and dry heaving. Severe alcohol intoxication may repeatedly cause symptoms such as: unresponsiveness to, irregular breathing, confusion, and muscle twitching. If a patient repeatedly exhibits unresponsiveness due to alcohol poisoning, it is recommended to immediately send them to the hospital for alcohol detoxification or related examinations. When a patient repeatedly vomits, turn their head to one side to prevent vomit from blocking the airway, which could lead to breathing difficulties.
