Drinking very large amounts in one session can lead to alcohol poisoning, unconsciousness, coma or even death. If it all goes wrong, it’s essential to get emergency help…

If someone loses consciousness after drinking too much, here’s what to do:

  • keep them on their side with their head turned to the side (the recovery position).
  • make sure they’re breathing and that their airways are clear.
  • if they stop breathing, start mouth to mouth resuscitation.
  • loosen any tight clothing that might restrict their breathing.
  • keep them warm (but not too hot) — with blankets or a coat.
  • call an ambulance, but don’t leave them… ask someone reliable to phone the ambulance.

If someone vomits you should:

  • try to keep them sitting up
  • if they must lie down, make sure they’re in the recovery position and that their mouth and airway are clear
  • if they begin to choke, get help immediately
  • don’t leave them even if you can’t bear the sight or smell of someone vomiting. Alcohol poisoning is extremely dangerous. It can lead to a coma and in extreme cases, death. The amount of alcohol it takes to cause alcohol poisoning depends on many factors, including size, weight, age and so on. Teenagers and inexperienced drinkers are particularly vulnerable.
