Alcohol Poisoning

Millions of Americans ingest alcohol every week at social gatherings or in family satiations. Only a few drink regularly to excess and find increasingly, that they cannot stop until they pass out. These few are true alcoholics and probably are genetically predisposed to the disease. However any person, when drinking excessively is subject to a condition known as alcohol poisoning.

Frequently those who may drink heavily at fraternity parties will increase their alcohol intake as the night progresses. Those who may be roommates know the burden and embarrassment when required to transport them, usually along with much resistance and vomit, to a hospital emergency room.
There, the unwilling victim will usually be administered a charcoal solution via a tube inserted in their esophagus.To the roommate this experience is arduous and frustrating. The problem drinker however, may have been saved from a torturous death due to alcohol poisoning.
