Patient's question:
What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? I have a question about alcohol poisoning and need help?Doctor's answer:
For alcohol poisoning, it is generally caused by consuming a large amount of alcohol in a short period, leading to a state of dysfunction in the central nervous system. This condition is usually dangerous, and in severe cases, it can affect the liver and nervous system, resulting in mental disorders, and may even lead to a near-death experience. It can cause complications such as loss of consciousness, shock, respiratory failure, and sudden death. Therefore, when your colleagues discuss alcohol poisoning, they are most likely considering the possibility that excessive beer consumption in a short time led to sudden death. Hence, it is important to be cautious about drinking too much beer.
