If someone is showing alcohol overdose should you lay them flat on their back?
If you think someone has alcohol poisoning, you should call paramedics and take them to the hospital. They may need to get their stomach pumped. Encouraging the person to vomit could help as well. Drinking lots of water is a must.
Should you give a person food if they are showing signs of alcohol overdose?
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.

How many milligrams does it take to overdose on hydrocodine?
That depends on the person. If they have a a high tolerance from years of use it can be over 10. I know a person who can take (16) 5mg tablets of Oxycodone which is stronger but without the Tylenol and have no overdose affect. On Hydrocodone the second number AKA the 500mg is the amount of Acetaminophen or Tylenol in the combination. A person with great tolerance would probably get sick off the Tylenol before a Hydrocodone overdose. Now that is a person who takes a lot of Oxycodone. I guess if you are looking for a basic rule, figure the max amount a person can take before feeling sick and add three pills and that should be an overdose to kill. An overdose is explained when the person gets sick from the medication and the body rejects it. Hydrocodone slows the pulse rate and hampers breathing. So an overdose that kills will stop the heart and lungs!
