Alchohol poisoning??

[Ian]

i did an entire bottle of Calico Jack for initiation into a frat, as well as half a mug (about 10 oz) of Kamakazie and like 4 beers.

I was so drunk i began to feel sober again, which was weird.

The next day i couldnt remember a thing. Not even my own name. For 15 minutes i strained to remember my life, who i was, and where i was. It was rough.

did i puke? no. but that was the closest i came to giving up drinking.

This is what I found and comatose is not listed till 0.35 and that is only a possibility.


0.02-0.03 BAC: No loss of coordination, slight euphoria and loss of shyness. Depressant effects are not apparent. Mildly relaxed and maybe a little lightheaded.

0.04-0.06 BAC: Feeling of well-being, relaxation, lower inhibitions, sensation of warmth. Euphoria. Some minor impairment of reasoning and memory, lowering of caution. Your behavior may become exaggerated and emotions intensified (Good emotions are better, bad emotions are worse)

0.07-0.09 BAC: Slight impairment of balance, speech, vision, reaction time, and hearing. Euphoria. Judgment and self-control are reduced, and caution, reason and memory are impaired, .08 is legally impaired and it is illegal to drive at this level. You will probably believe that you are functioning better than you really are.

0.10-0.125 BAC: Significant impairment of motor coordination and loss of good judgment. Speech may be slurred; balance, vision, reaction time and hearing will be impaired. Euphoria.

0.13-0.15 BAC: Gross motor impairment and lack of physical control. Blurred vision and major loss of balance. Euphoria is reduced and dysphoria (anxiety, restlessness) is beginning to appear. Judgment and perception are severely impaired.

0.16-0.19 BAC: Dysphoria predominates, nausea may appear. The drinker has the appearance of a “sloppy drunk.”

0.20 BAC: Felling dazed, confused or otherwise disoriented. May need help to stand or walk. If you injure yourself you may not feel the pain. Some people experience nausea and vomiting at this level. The gag reflex is impaired and you can choke if you do vomit. Blackouts are likely at this level so you may not remember what has happened.

0.25 BAC: All mental, physical and sensory functions are severely impaired. Increased risk of asphyxiation from choking on vomit and of seriously injuring yourself by falls or other accidents.

0.30 BAC: STUPOR. You have little comprehension of where you are. You may pass out suddenly and be difficult to awaken.

0.35 BAC: Coma is possible. This is the level of surgical anesthesia.

0.40 BAC and up: Onset of coma, and possible death due to respiratory arrest.

So your saying its all in my head? That is very weird if you are correct. I thought throwing up was more of a physical thing rather than mental. Ive even tried margarita which tastes really good and it makes me sick to my stomach.

No my face doesnt get red or anything i just cant handle very much at all, especially beer

oh i had 1/2 a liter of vodka from spain...I chugged the last 1/4 as a bet..very bad idea

highest i blew this year was a .36, only blacked out for about 45min ;)

[FireFighter]

well i drank so much friday, I went to take a piss and ended up passing out in the bathroom and sleeping their all night. my back hurt so bad the next day, dont sleep on a hard tile floor.lol

[RallyRed 98]

it's always more comfortable to sleep on the bathroom floor... esp when hung over

[ReodDai]

I've never, EVER had a hangover. I've been so trashed I couldn't even walk tho lol. I was crawling in circles around my friends car. Moving everytime I threw up untill he finally left the party and took my *** home. Never black out, never don't remember a night, and never get hang overs lol.

Its in your head...

I don't know though might be in your head.

I had a bad night with baardi 151, I was not too bad the night before, next day was a little wousy, then got up and went to get some McD's sat down in the car and puked green slime for about 10 minutes.

I have a problem with dark rum and coke, but am fine with captain morgan?


Also had a bad expeirence with tequila, I was trashed friend came to party late, I remember him saying lets go do some tequila shots and bam. I woke up in a bathroom. Been kinda weary ever since.

But then my worst drunk ever, I took out a liter of Wild turkey in like 6 hours. Did lots of crazy stuff coworkers still rag on me about like 8 months later, I puked up a bit, and was passed the feck out. Don't remember much at all that night.

Funny thing is I crave whiskey more then just about any alcohol, even beer at times.

Well I tell you what. Everytime you drink too much, have one of your friends punch you hard in the nuts. Do this 10 times. I bet by the 11th time you begin to feel queezy after you pick up a beer.

actually, those BAC only apply to normal people. people with a drinking problem can build up quite a tolerance to high BAC levels. enough that they are walking around with .3's and .4's, operating motor vehicles, etc.

[ReodDai]

Your body can't build a tolerance for alcohol. The more you drink the more the alcohol effects your body. You can develop a mental tolerance for the effects however. However your body does the exact opposite of tolerance.

:cough:horsecrap:cough:

Metabolic Tolerance

Tolerance that results from a more rapid elimination of alcohol from the body is called metabolic tolerance (2). It is associated with a specific group of liver enzymes that metabolize alcohol and that are activated after chronic drinking (21,22). Enzyme activation increases alcohol degradation and reduces the time during which alcohol is active in the body (2), thereby reducing the duration of alcohol's intoxicating effects.

However, certain of these enzymes also increase the metabolism of some other drugs and medications, causing a variety of harmful effects on the drinker. For example, rapid degradation of sedatives (e.g., barbiturates) (23) can cause tolerance to them and increase the risk for their use and abuse. Increased metabolism of some prescription medications, such as those used to prevent blood clotting and to treat diabetes, reduces their effectiveness in chronic drinkers or even in recovering alcoholics (24). Increased degradation of the common painkiller acetaminophen produces substances that are toxic to the liver (25) and that can contribute to liver damage in chronic drinkers.

I stand corrected ;) Gonna have to try and find the article I was reading lol

My friend and I picked up a half keg of bud light a month or so ago. He was up until 6 a.m. and floated that thing the first night ( pretty much by himself). The next day he puked at least 12 times and couldn't keep anything in his stomach. He almost wanted me to take him to the hospital
