Just a few days ago, Ryan applied for a job as a bouncer at one of the local nightclubs. He had studied ninjitsu, judo, karate, gatka, and aikido for eleven years; he was a weight lifter; he took daily minerals, supplements, and vitamins; he was into healthy eating and health foods; and he seemed well matched for such a position. When Ryan received notice that he had been selected for the job, he was especially happy. Due to the fact that this was a special disco, nevertheless, he had to go through a five week training class.

On the first day of class, the instructor began talking about drinkers who drink in an abusive manner and what the bouncers, bartenders, and barmaids should do when this state of affairs arises. When the teacher started talking about alcohol poisoning, Ryan was pleased to learn that all of the new employees were required to learn about an alcohol overdose and precisely what they should do when they saw a drinker who was manifesting alcohol poisoning symptoms or manifesting alcohol poisoning signs.

More directly, all the new bartenders, bouncers, and barmaids learned that vomiting and nausea were almost without exception one of the first signs of alcohol poisoning and that unconsciousness was almost certainly the most highly perceptible alcohol overdose symptom or sign. The lecturer also made it a point to highlight the fact that alcohol poisoning signs were signals from the brain and from the body that the individual had ingested more alcohol than his or her body can metabolize.

There were, nevertheless, quite a few other signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning that all the new employees were trained to be conversant with. For example, the class members discovered that individuals who experience alcohol poisoning often have seizures, exhibit confusion, exhibit poor reflex responses, and they are difficult to awaken.

Furthermore, the members of the class discovered that many drinkers who suffer from alcohol poisoning also manifest slurred speech; little response from painful stimuli, for instance from pinching; blue tinged or pale skin; and slow, shallow or irregular breathing.

To stress the bearing that binge drinking has on alcohol poisoning, the instructor explained to the class that a drinker who gets smashed just once annually is, by definition, involving himself or herself in alcohol abuse. Such an individual, however, is probably not alcohol addicted, but is probably engaging in binge drinking. As expressed by the trainer, engaging in binge drinking even one time, sadly, can lead to an alcohol overdose that in some circumstances can be fatal.

The teacher then told the class members that the most fitting response for an alcohol overdose is the following: if it is assumed that a person has alcohol poisoning, call 911 and ask for emergency medical assistance, even if the individual is underage. By following this course of action, the individual will get the prompt alcohol poisoning medical attention she or he requires.

After learning about alcohol poisoning and particularly about the signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning, it may be noted, Ryan felt that he had learned some valuable information that might save a drinker's life in the foreseeable future. As a matter of fact, Ryan learned that knowledge of the mainstream alcohol poisoning symptoms and signs and knowing how to properly and quickly respond to such signs and symptoms (by immediately calling 911 and asking for urgent medical assistance) can help a person avoid a deadly case of alcohol poisoning.
