ALCOHOL POISONING

What to look for : Person is unconscious or semiconscious and cannot be awakened. Cold, moist, pale or bluish skin. Slow, shallow breathing with ten seconds or more between breaths. Vomiting while sleeping or passed out, and not waking up after vomiting.

What to do: Get Help. Call 911 Do not leave the person alone. Turn the person on his/her side to prevent choking in case of vomiting. Always be “better safe than sorry.” Do not let worries about being in trouble or paying the bill stop you from saving a life.
