Alcohol Poisoning
Do you know about the dangers of alcohol poisoning?
When should you seek professional help for a friend?
Students often laugh at the behavior of others who are drunk. Some think it's even funnier when they pass out. But there is nothing funny about the aspiration of vomit leading to asphyxiation or the poisoning of the respiratory center in the brain, both of which can result in death. Sadly enough, too many college students say they wish they would have sought medical treatment for a friend. Many end up feeling responsible for alcohol-related tragedies that could have easily been prevented.
Alcohol poisoning can occur when a person drinks a large quantity of alcohol in a short amount of time.
