Just two weeks ago, Ryan applied for a job as a bouncer at one of the local discotheques. He had studied aikido, judo, karate, ninjitsu, and gatka for four years; he was a body builder; he took daily supplements, vitamins, and minerals; he was into healthy eating and health foods; and he seemed well matched for such a job. When Ryan got notice that he had been hand picked for the job, he was very pleased. Since this was a private disco, nevertheless, he had to go through a four week instructional class.

On the first day of class, the trainer started talking about people who drink too much and what the barmaids, bartenders, and bouncers should do when this state of affairs arises. When the lecturer started talking about alcohol poisoning, Ryan was happy to learn that all of the new bouncers, barmaids, and bartenders had to learn about alcohol poisoning and what they should do when they spotted an individual who was manifesting alcohol poisoning symptoms or manifesting alcohol poisoning signs.

More exactly, all the new bartenders, barmaids, and bouncers were instructed that nausea and vomiting were almost always one of the first signs of alcohol poisoning and that unconsciousness was perhaps the most highly observable alcohol overdose sign or symptom. The teacher went out of his way to highlight the fact that alcohol overdose symptoms were messages from the body and from the brain that the person had ingested more alcohol than his or her body can process.

There were, nevertheless, several other signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning that all the new bouncers, barmaids, and bartenders were taught to recognize. For instance, the members of the class were made aware that individuals who experience alcohol poisoning exhibit poor reflex responses, are difficult to awaken, often have seizures, and they exhibit confusion.

What is more, the members in the class learned that many people who experience alcohol poisoning also display slurred speech; blue tinged or pale skin; little response from painful stimuli, for instance from pinching; and slow, shallow or irregular breathing.

To exemplify the influence that binge drinking has on alcohol poisoning, the trainer told the members of the class that a person who gets drunk once or twice every year is, by definition, involving himself or herself in abusive drinking. Such a person, however, is in all likelihood not alcohol addicted, but is in all likelihood engaging in binge drinking. As stated by the instructor, engaging in binge drinking even once, regrettably, can lead to an alcohol overdose that in extreme cases can be deadly.

The teacher then informed the students in the class that the correct response for alcohol poisoning is the following: if it is suspected that a drinker is suffering from an alcohol overdose, call 911 and ask for immediate medical assistance, even if the person is underage. By taking this plan of action, the drinker will get the prompt alcohol poisoning treatment he or she needs.

After learning about alcohol poisoning and particularly about the symptoms and signs of alcohol poisoning, it may be noted, Ryan understood that he had learned some vital information that might save a person's life down the road. Indeed, Ryan learned that knowledge of the frequently occurring alcohol poisoning symptoms and signs and knowing how to quickly and appropriately react to such symptoms and signs (by immediately calling 911 and asking for emergency medical assistance) can help a drinker avoid a fatal alcohol overdose.
