Signs or Symptoms of Alcohol Poisoning
INFORMATIVE 
Tags: Alcohol, Poisoning, Alcohol Poisoning, Alcohol Abuse, symptoms, signs
Alcohol depresses nerves that control involuntary actions such as breathing and the gag reflex, which prevents choking. Someone who drinks a fatal dose of alcohol will eventually stop breathing. Even if someone survives an alcohol overdose, he or she can suffer irreversible brain damage. Rapid binge drinking (which often happens on a bet or a dare) is especially dangerous because the victim can drink a fatal dose before losing consciousness.
