This is the same as alcohol poisoning. This happens when someone drinks so much alcohol the liver cannot metabilize it fast enough causing the blood alcohol level to rise to dangerous levels. .08 is considered legally intoxicated in the United States. At .25 most people would be passed out or very obviously stupid drunk. At above .30 the person's breathing can slow to dangerous levels. Above .35 can cause death if medical treatment is not sought.
What else can I help you with?
What to do in alcohol overdose?
In case of suspected alcohol overdose or toxicity, go to the nearest emergency room. This is a very serious and lethal condition.
How much rubbing alcohol will cause alcohol toxicity?
You shouldn't ever drink rubbing alcohol. It isn't the same as the alcohol in beer, wine, whiskey, etc. Rubbing alcohol is very dangerous and cause things like blindness and death.
Which organ makes almost all of the body's alcohol-processing machinery?
The liver is the organ primarily responsible for processing alcohol in the body. It breaks down alcohol into byproducts that can be eliminated from the body, helping to prevent alcohol toxicity.
What are fluids used in the thermometer?
Alcohol or mercury are commonly used as the fluids in thermometers. Mercury was commonly used in the past but is being phased out due to its toxicity. Alcohol is a safer alternative that is used in most modern thermometers.
What type of liquid do you use in a thermometer?
Typically, thermometers use either mercury or alcohol as the liquid inside the glass tube to measure temperature. Mercury thermometers are being phased out due to the toxicity of mercury, with alcohol thermometers being a safer alternative.
Can a long term alcoholic die of alcohol toxicity?
Yes, if the person overdoses. Long term alcoholics need to either stop drinking or moderate their drinking.
What happens to your liver if you take too much lithium and alcohol?
Lithium is used to treat bipolar disorder that can cause liver toxicity. Drinking alcohol will give more damage to the liver.
Can you drink with colchicine?
It's generally advised to avoid alcohol while taking colchicine. Alcohol can increase the risk of side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues or liver toxicity, which may be exacerbated by colchicine. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice regarding alcohol consumption and medication interactions.
Is synergism the mixing of drugs and alcohol?
No, it always depends of the concerned drug... Some interaction between drugs and alcohol are because of toxic metabolites, others are because of synergism in side effects, others because of similar organ toxicity, etc..
Which metal is contained in a thermoneter?
Most traditional thermometers contain either mercury, which is a liquid metal, or alcohol, which is not a metal. Mercury has been phased out in many countries due to its toxicity, with alcohol or digital thermometers becoming more popular.
Is synergism an alcohol effect?
Synergism refers to the interaction of two or more substances that results in a greater effect than the sum of their individual effects. In the context of alcohol, synergism can occur when alcohol interacts with other substances, such as medications or drugs, leading to enhanced effects or increased toxicity. This means that while synergism itself is not an "alcohol effect," it can describe how alcohol can amplify the effects of other compounds when consumed together.
The liquid most commonly used in a thermometer is either mercury or?
alcohol, such as ethanol or dyed ethyl alcohol. Mercury and alcohol are both used in thermometers due to their ability to expand and contract with temperature changes, allowing accurate measurement of thermal fluctuations. Mercury is less common now due to its toxicity.
