Alcoholic Intoxication

Alcoholic intoxication occurs when someone consumes a large amount of alcohol in a short period, leading to impaired judgment, coordination, and cognitive function. This condition can be serious and may cause symptoms like confusion, vomiting, difficulty breathing, or even unconsciousness. In a toxicologic emergency, excessive alcohol can be life-threatening, requiring immediate medical attention to prevent complications such as choking, dehydration, or respiratory failure. Treatment often involves supportive care, monitoring, and sometimes intravenous fluids to restore balance in the body. Recognizing the signs of intoxication is crucial for timely intervention.
