Remember the days when someone who drank a beer day-after-day did not raise eyebrows? Or when somebody who consumed a drink or 2 at lunch during a weekday was not presumed to have a boozing trouble?

Drinking figures, particularly amidst University pupils, have varied significantly since then.On average, pupils are boozing to a lesser extent - as a matter of fact,Fifteen% of all students do not booze the least bit. As an alternative from Dispersing our boozing out across the full week,Even so, more or less of us nowadays carry through our boozing till the weekend and head out on a “binge”. Boozing excessively often during these social occasion are turning amore common occurrence, and can extend to a dangerous circumstance that has been sweeping across the UK - acute alcohol poisoning.

Acute alcohol poisoning occurs more often than most of us actully realize, and it is happening on a day to day basis. Anytime students drink too much, alcohol begins to act as a poison to the body. If thier lucky they will simply pass out at this stage. This is the body’s way of preventing us from drinking any more. When we drink too much too fast, however, our bodies can skip the passing-out stage and go straight into a coma and death, sorry but its true.

So how do we know how much is “too much”?

Acute alcohol poisoning is often linked to those late night drinking games and birthday celebrations where the birthday boy’s friends buys him or her a shot over and over.

These friendly events can and do kill people. Stop for a minute and imagine what it would be like to know that the friend you encouraged to down nineteen shots last night didn’t wake up this morning, and will never wake up ever again. This is a terrifying thought for most people, but there are things you can learn and do that will help prevent it from ever becoming a reality for you.

You need to acknowledge that people who have acute alcohol poisoning frequently have cold, clammy, pale, or bluish skin. Their taking a breath often decelerates to around eight breaths per minute or they may develop an irregular breathing pattern. Anybody who’s been boozing and is unconscious and can’t be wakened is most likly in danger from alcohol poisoning, or of vomiting while “sleeping”, and then simply chocking to death on it.

Whenever you make out any of these signs in somebody who you know has been boozing, you need to act at once to save their lives. You need to

do something now . There have been too many occasions when a affectionate acquaintance has aided a drunkard to bed to “catch some Z’s”, only to find them dead in the morning.

It does not count whenever the drinker is underage or not supposed to drink for whatever reason. If you suspect someone may be suffering from acute

alcohol poisoning, call an ambulance. Don’t ask

twenty people for their opinion before you do this

you could cost your friend their life. Next, use the Bacchus Maneuver to roll them into the recovery position so they won’t choke if they vomit.

If they stop breathing, administer rescue breathing immediately. And stay with the person until

medical help arrives.

Acute alcohol poisoning does happen on our campus. If a friend of yours is putting themselves sat risk for acute alcohol poisoning, let them know you think they should stop drinking and why. Become aware of the signs of alcohol poisoning and know how to respond - by doing so, we can prevent the tragic and unnecessary death of a fellow student or friend.
