Hello asked in HealthOther - Health · 5 years ago

Do I have alcohol poisoning ?

So I went to a party last night and went a little overboard , I drank half a bottle of vodka , a few shots of sourpuss , 2 coolers, atleast 10 Jell-O shots.

I'm 16 5.9 and I weigh 175 pounds if that helps any !!

I didn't have any supper that night either .

I completely don't remember anything from last night ....

I also had apparently smoked pot and had a bunch of darts

I couldn't walk or talk and apparently I kept passing out ...

I woke up in the morning and felt terrible , like I've never had a hangover that bad before . I puked twice but it was really weird because my puke was brown?!?! And like I hadn't had anything but water to drink in the morning ...?

I kept on getting hot and cold flashed , I couldn't stop shaking , I had a fever and I couldn't see straight and my breathing was really heavy and forced .

Right now it's supper time and I still feel terrible and disoriented . I keep on forgetting things I shouldn't like how to turn the shower off for example ..

Like I have had hangovers before but they never last this long or hurt this bad ..

    drink as much water as possible. you may have also depleted necessary minerals specifically potassium and magnesium...if you have those vitamins or any vitamins or even better would be veggies and fruit with these minerals. depleted minerals effect your heart rhythm and causes what is know as AFib not associated with a heart valve problem; this is also called Holiday Heart Syndrome. alcohol is therapeutic in small doses but absolutely deadly at high doses...as others have said you are lucky to be alive...brown puke is a bad sign. I would highly recommend drinking as much fluid as possible...Gatorade is good. At this point the damage is done and it is all about rehydrating and replenishing lost vitamins and minerals and then getting a good nights sleep; and of course you have learned a lesson. Getting that drunk isnt even fun...a few drink here and a few puffs there should be enough to have a fun time on the weekend...hydrate hydrate hydrate.... Good luck

    Symptoms

    Alcohol poisoning signs and symptoms include:

    Confusion

    Vomiting

    Seizures

    Slow breathing (less than eight breaths a minute)

    Irregular breathing (a gap of more than 10 seconds between breaths)

    Blue-tinged skin or pale skin

    Low body temperature (hypothermia)

    Passing out (unconsciousness) and can't be awakened

    It's not necessary to have all these signs and symptoms before you seek help. A person who is unconscious or can't be awakened is at risk of dying.

    Alcohol poisoning is an emergency

    If you're with someone who has been drinking a lot of alcohol and you see any of the signs or symptoms above, here's what to do:

    Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. Never assume that a person will sleep off alcohol poisoning.

    Be prepared to provide information. If you know, be sure to tell hospital or emergency personnel the kind and amount of alcohol the person drank, and when.

    Don't leave an unconscious person alone. Because alcohol poisoning affects the way your gag reflex works, someone with alcohol poisoning may choke on his or her own vomit and not be able to breathe. While waiting for help, don't try to make the person vomit because he or she could choke.

    Help a person who is vomiting. Try to keep him or her sitting up. If the person must lie down, make sure to turn his or her head to the side — this helps prevent choking. Try to keep the person awake to prevent loss of consciousness.

    the brown is bile. you puked yourself dry and are puking from way down; all that you have is what your stomach is putting in, the bile. You ejected everything else. And yes, you poisoned yourself with alcohol, really badly, apparently. Been there and learned the lesson. Gonna be a while before you enjoy drinking again, I suspect. A little bit more to drink and you might have woken up in the hospital, or not woken up at all.

    You are going to have to learn to be more careful. A man's gotta know his limits. Christ, I think I would have been in over my head with what you drank. You really have to be careful when drinking mystery shooters and punches. Much safer to stick with what you know when you intend to go overboard.

    Dude, you are lucky to be alive. Poisoning - maybe, but let the pain serve as a good reminder to not do that again. Glad that you are well enough to ask a question.
