Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including spouse and child abuse. Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person’s ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described. Alcohol poisoning Alcohol poisoning is a serious, and sometimes deadly result of drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. Binge drinking can lead to alcohol poisoning. The effects of alcohol depend on the concentration of alcohol in your blood (blood alcohol level). Factors that affect your blood alcohol level include: How strong the alcohol is, how quickly you drink it and how much food is in your stomach at the time you drink. Signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning include: Confusion; vomiting; seizures; slow or irregular breathing; cold, clammy, pale or bluish skin; unconsciousness; inability to wake person with loud shouting or vigorous shaking, inability of the aroused person to stay awake for more than 2-3 minutes. Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening. Longterm consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and the liver. Alcohol is a stomach irritant and may cause vomiting. It also affects your central nervous system–slowing your breathing, heart rate and gag reflex. This increases the risk of choking on vomit if you are passed out from excessive drinking. If you suspect that someone has alcohol poisoning, seek immediate medical care. Blood alcohol level continues to rise even after the person has passed out. Women who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other youngsters of becoming alcoholics. Alcohol can also be harmful in smaller amounts if you use it in combination with: sedatives, tranquilizers, narcotic pain medications or certain anti-seizure medications such as Phenobarbital.
