No. You should dial 911 immediately. We are talking poisoning here. Once symptoms appear, they will quickly get worse over time. You have NO time to lose. That is right but ipecac syrup or charcoal pills will help prevent more alcohol from being absorbed while the medics are on the way. Never have the person vomit on their back, as that is a major alcohol related cause of death if they are not conscious. Food can absorb some alcohol but call 911 first regardless.
