I think many of you are not using your critical thinking skills.
Any admission to the emergency room for alcohol, is alcohol poisoning. Even if they release you in a few hours.
OBviously the alcohol poisoning we think about is the life threatening one, and honestly is usually pretty fatal.
Other types of alcohol poisoning . . well most of us call it a really bad hang over . . its when we tell God we will never drink again if he only he spares us from the awful sick feeling.
Also, its common for police to take a person who is intoxicated to the point of being impaired to the emergency room . . . its a liability issue for them. What if something happened to you?
I know many ER personel that have complained about police doing that . . because most times the person goes home in a few hours with an awful hangover.
Further, many college administrations are now emphasizing that people should definitely take their friend to the ER if they are exhibiting signs of excessive drinking:
Slurring words. Not making sense. Falling down. Passing out at 4am. Irresponsible behavior. Etc.
Thats guarenteed to make inexperienced people want to take their friends to the ER. If we had taken everyone we saw in that state to the ER . . well that would have been a lot of people.
OH! And no none ever died. However, some had really bad hang overs.
Damn people . . grow up and think a little please?
