Alcohol intoxication, or alcohol poisoning, is a condition that occurs when a person drinks too much alcohol in a short period of time.
It affects ones body temperature, breathing, heart rate, and gag reflex. It can also lead to coma or death, like what happened to Ignacio’s friend.
The condition doesn’t only happen to those who drank too many alcoholic beverages, but those who have accidentally and intentionally drank household products containing alcohol. Examples of this are mouthwashes, cooking extracts, and medications.
According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, excessive alcohol use causes around 88,000 deaths annualy in the United States alone.
Treatment for alcohol intoxication involves supportive care while the body is processing the alcohol.
