Symptoms By Mayo Clinic staff

If you drink, have friends who drink or have children of any age, know the signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning:

• Confusion, stupor
• Vomiting
• Seizures
• Slow breathing (less than eight breaths a minute)
• Irregular breathing
• Blue-tinged skin or pale skin
• Low body temperature (hypothermia)
• Unconsciousness ("passing out")

It's not necessary for all of these symptoms to be present before you seek help. A person who is unconscious or can't be roused is at risk of dying.

Alcohol poisoning can lead to death. Therefore people should call 911 if a person ever has any of these symptoms:

• is unconscious or semiconscious
• is breathing fewer than ten tomes per minute or is breathing irregularly
• is cold, clammy, pale or has bluish skin
• cannot be awakened by pinching, prodding or shouting, or
• is vomiting without waking up.

Any intoxication always carries a degree of risk. People who choose to drink should always do so in moderation.
