A Bouncer At A Private Nightspot Learns Why Alcohol Overdose Signs And Symptoms Can Save An Individual's Life

Just a week ago, Ryan applied for a job as a bouncer at one of the local clubs. He had studied karate, ninjitsu, aikido, judo, and gatka for twelve years; he was a weight lifter; he took daily vitamins, supplements, and minerals; he was into health foods and healthy eating; and he seemed well suited for such a position. When Ryan got notification that he had been picked for the job, he was extremely happy. Since this was a private nightclub, however, he had to go through a five week instructional class.

On the first day of class, the lecturer started talking about drinkers who drink abusively and what the bartenders, bouncers, and barmaids should do when this situation arises. When the instructor started talking about alcohol poisoning, Ryan was delighted to learn that all of the new barmaids, bartenders, and bouncers had to learn about an alcohol overdose and precisely what they should do when they observed a person who was exhibiting alcohol poisoning symptoms or displaying alcohol poisoning signs.

More precisely, all the new employees were instructed that nausea and vomiting were almost without exception one of the first signs of alcohol poisoning and that unconsciousness was perchance the most highly identifiable alcohol poisoning symptom or sign. The lecturer went out of his way to emphasize the fact that alcohol overdose symptoms were signals from the body and from the brain that the drinker had consumed more alcohol than his or her body can metabolize.

There were, nevertheless, more than a few other signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning that all the new barmaids, bartenders, and bouncers were taught to be conversant with. For instance, the members of the class learned that people who experience alcohol poisoning exhibit confusion, exhibit poor reflex responses, often have seizures, and they are difficult to awaken.

Not only this but, the class members learned that many drinkers who suffer from alcohol poisoning also exhibit slow, shallow or irregular breathing; blue tinged or pale skin; slurred speech; and little response from painful stimuli, for instance from pinching.

To highlight the bearing that binge drinking has on alcohol poisoning, the lecturer told the students in the class that a person who gets smashed just a few times every year is, by definition, engaging in alcohol abuse. Such an individual, however, is most likely not an alcoholic, but is most likely engaging in binge drinking. As articulated by the trainer, engaging in binge drinking even once, unfortunately, can result in an alcohol overdose that in some circumstances can be lethal.

The instructor then explained to the class that the most fitting response for alcohol poisoning is the following: if it is suspected that an individual has alcohol poisoning, call 911 and ask for emergency medical assistance, even if the drinker is underage. By taking this plan of action, the drinker will get the prompt alcohol poisoning medical attention he or she needs.

After learning about alcohol poisoning and especially about the signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning, it may be noted, Ryan realized that he had learned some crucial information that might save a person's life in the foreseeable future. Undeniably, Ryan learned that knowledge of the usual alcohol poisoning signs and symptoms and knowing how to quickly and properly respond to such symptoms and signs (by immediately calling 911 and asking for emergency medical assistance) can help a drinker avoid a deadly alcohol overdose.
