he just had to much!. blue finger tips is a really good sign!. some others are less then 10 breaths a minute, cold/clammy skin, and excessive vomiting!. You don't always die of alcohol poisoning, but if you see these signs you should definitely take him to the hospital!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The short-term effects of alcohol on the human body can take several forms!.

Alcohol, specifically ethanol, is a potent central nervous system depressant, with a range of side effects!. The amount and circumstances of consumption play a large part in determining the extent of intoxication; for example, consuming alcohol after a heavy meal is less likely to produce visible signs of intoxication than consumption on an empty stomach!.[citation needed] Hydration also plays a role, especially in determining the extent of hangovers!.[citation needed] The concentration of alcohol in blood is usually measured in terms of the blood alcohol content!.

Alcohol has a biphasic effect on the body, which is to say that its effects change over time!.[1] Initially, alcohol generally produces feelings of relaxation and cheerfulness, but further consumption can lead to blurred vision and coordination problems!. Cell membranes are highly permeable to alcohol, so once alcohol is in the bloodstream it can diffuse into nearly every biological tissue of the body!. After excessive drinking, unconsciousness can occur and extreme levels of consumption can lead to alcohol poisoning and death (a concentration in the blood stream of 0!.55% will kill half of those affected)!. Death can also occur through asphyxiation by vomit!. An appropriate first aid response to an unconscious, drunken person is to place them in the recovery position!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Having to much to drink is the cause of alcohol poising!. If your friend made it through the night then more than likely he will be alright!. You have to be care full!. Alcohol can and will kill you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
