How do you prevent diarrhea from alcohol consumption?

If you are experiencing the runs from your drinking, you are -- by definition -- drinking far too much. It does not happen to "social" drinkers. Drink less alcohol. Alcohol-induced diarrhea is caused by the body's rejection of the alcohol, which it recognizes as a poison, and because of the irritation caused to the inside of the digestive tract. Some people are more susceptible to that than others. If you are one of them, consider it one more good reason not to drink.

Is Alcohol poisoning is caused by drinking quickly?

Alcohol is a neurotoxin, and at elevated levels it suppresses the central nervous system and causes vital functions to shut down. Alcohol poisoning is caused by drinking alcohol faster than the body can eliminate it, causing it to build up in the body fluids. Generally speaking, one has to drink not only quickly, but in large amounts. Anything like normal drinking is unlikely to induce it. However, doing shots or chugging repeatedly can be dangerous. Trying to show how much you can drink is never a good idea.
