How Do You Know If You Have Alcohol Poisoning?

The definition alcohol poisoning, also known as ethanol poisoning  is when you have a large amount of alcohol in your bloodstream, according to the blood alcohol concentration or BAC. Normally this is measured by taking a sample of blood or through a breathalyser. So, how do you know if you have alcohol poisoning? Alcohol isn’t per se a poison. It is only when you consume alcohol in sufficient quantities that it becomes poisonous to you.

The definition of a poison is a substance that causes a disturbance in an organism … your body, a chemical reaction. So if the question is when does the alcohol turn from an enjoyable beverage into a poison, it’s probably around the time that you started to slur your speech, or you couldn’t walk straight any more, and definitely by the time you’re vomiting freely. Feeling ill in any way, shape, or form, which has been caused by alcohol, means you have been consuming the stuff to poisonous levels … the question then is by how much? To what degree?

So when does alcohol poisoning become dangerous? That would be when you feel like collapsing, when you are uncontrollably throwing up, or even worse when you have stopped throwing up. By that stage you will probably not be aware of what is happening to you.

A hangover is definitely a good indication that you have been poisoned by alcohol. You have consumed far too much alcohol for your body to cope with. This usually happens if you have been consuming more than one standard drink per hour. This is the limited amount of alcohol that your body can thoroughly process safely.

If you are asking yourself whether you have poisoned yourself then you really need to look at your drinking habits. One way to stop yourself from feeling ill in the future is to make sure that you drink no more than one standard unit of alcohol per hour. Always try to have regular food breaks during your night out. And don’t think that you have to keep up with the Joneses. Go at your own pace and switch between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. You’re going to thank yourself for it in the morning when you wake up without a hangover.
