That's normal, because you are poisoned. Alcohol is a neurotoxin, and it takes the body a while to recover from large doses of it. Eating well and drinking lots of water will help.

Alcohol and barbiturates can do what?

Alcohol is central nervous system depressant. Barbiturates are central nervous system depressants. When take together in large doses they can kill a person. Their CNS will become so depressed it will stop telling them to breathe.

Built in defense mechanisms:

The first thing your body will do is vomit trying to keep you from putting more alcohol into your body. If that doesn't work and you keep drinking you will pass out. If you have chugged alcohol it might continue to be absorbed into your body after loss of consciousness. This can result in death.

Barbituates are dangerous because you can circumvent the vomitting with alcohol and go straight to loss of consciousness and death.

This is one reason benzodiazepines were invented. Much harder to over dose on

0.3 - 0.5% by volume. Lethality varies with individuals: lower for naive drinkers and higher for alcoholics. There is no fixed figure due to the difficulty of gathering accurate statistics. Obviously, testing is out of the question.

The only alcohol that can get you drunk is Ethyl alcohol or Ethanol. Also, Methyl alcohol will get you dizzy but you will get blind if you drink it.

How long does aprazolam stay in your system before you can drink alcohol?

Alprazolam (Xanax) half life* is: Immediate release: 11.2 hours; Extended release: 10.7-15.8 hours. Your answer depends on the dosage you are taking. We have no way of knowing that, but we would strongly suggest that you not drink until most of it is out of your system.

You should know that alprazolam withdrawal can take several days to a couple of week, and there is danger of seizures and blood pressure spikes that can cause strokes if it is withdrawn quickly without medical support. The same is true of alcohol.

*Half life is the time it takes your body to metabolize 1/2 of the drug that is in your system. In the case of Xanax, the metabolites are also active drugs, so it takes much longer for your body to reach a safe level.

What does blood alcohol level 290 mean?

It means that your blood contains 0.29% alcohol by volume. This is a high enough level to render people unconscious who are not used to drinking, and is even potentially fatal for some.

On the other hand, alcoholics can often navigate and carry on conversations at that lever (which doesn't mean that they are any less drunk, just better at not showing it). That's known as tolerance, and it is a prime indicator of addiction.

What is a good alcoholic drink with 7up?

Many people enjoy light blended whiskeys, such as "Canadian" whiskey.

Does the breathing also become impaired from alcohol?

Breathing only becomes impaired from alcohol during alcohol poisoning.

How long can a human survive with a damaged liver?

No. If anything, it would thin a bit, since about the only thing that thickens your blood is dehydration, which can be caused by alcohol.

You do not drink but your breathe smells like alcohol?

You may be diabetic. Diabetics sometimes have acetone in their breath, which can give it an alcohol smell. You should discuss this with a doctor immediately. If we are correct, your diabetes could be quite advanced.

Can you get drunk off of an alcoholic's liver if you eat it?

I don't think so--then again, if someone's talking about getting drunk by performing an act of cannibalism their drinking isn't the most important problem I'm worried about!

Why do we put drunk people in cold showers?

"We" don't. Putting a drunk in a shower doesn't sober him up, and you run a very real risk that he will be injured in the shower, or become combative. I certainly would have.
