ALCOHOL POISONING
What to look for:
• Person is unconscious or semiconscious
and cannot be awakened.
• Cold, moist, pale or bluish skin.
• Slow, shallow breathing with ten seconds
or more between breaths.
• Vomiting while sleeping or passed out,
and not waking up after vomiting.
What to do:
• Get Help. Call 911
• Do not leave the person alone.
• Turn the person on his/her side to prevent
choking in case of vomiting.
• Always be “better safe than sorry.” Do
not let worries about being in trouble or
paying the bill stop you from saving a life.
