Alcohol Poisoning (Intoxication)
Diagnosis
In addition to checking for visible signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning (intoxication), your doctor will likely order blood and urine tests to check your blood alcohol levels and look for other signs of alcohol poisoning intoxication, such as low blood sugar.
Care
Treatment for alcohol poisoning usually involves supportive care while the body gets rid of the alcohol.
This usually includes:
✔ Monitoring to prevent breathing problems or choking.
✔ Oxygen therapy.
✔ Fluids given through a vein to prevent dehydration.
✔ Use of vitamins and glucose to prevent serious complications.
Hemodialysis may be required for people who accidentally ingest methanol or isopropyl alcohol. It is a mechanical way of filtering waste and toxins from the blood. It can speed up the removal of alcohol from the blood.
Lifestyle and Home Remedies
Home remedies for alcohol poisoning will not help. Alcohol poisoning is an emergency.
Dangerous Myths
You cannot reverse the effects of alcohol poisoning, and you can make it worse by doing certain things.
Here's what doesn't work:
✔ Waking up. A person can pass out while sleeping.
✔ Black coffee or caffeine. Coffee and other caffeinated drinks do not stop or reduce the effects of alcohol poisoning.
✔ Cold shower. The cold can cause a person to pass out
✔ Withdrawal from it. This will not make alcohol leave the body faster.
