Alcohol poisoning
Alcohol poisoning occurs when you consume alcohol at a rate faster than your body can handle. This condition can lead to severe health issues, and hospital treatment may be necessary. Symptoms typically arise after consuming a large amount of alcohol and can include various signs of distress. If you call 999, the operator will provide guidance on how to proceed. It's important to stay with the individual, as there is a danger they may choke on their vomit or experience difficulty breathing.
