Alcohol intoxication, also known in overdose as alcoholpoisoning,[1] commonlydescribed as drunkenness or inebriation,[10] is the negativebehavior and physical effectscaused by a recent consumptionof alcohol.[6][11] In addition to the toxicity of ethanol, the main psychoactive component of alcoholic beverages, other physiological symptoms may arise from the activity of acetaldehyde, a metabolite of alcohol.[12] These effects may not arise until hours after ingestion and may contribute to the condition colloquiallyknown as a hangover.
Symptoms of intoxication at lowerdoses may include mild sedationand poor coordination.[3] At higher doses, there may be slurred speech, trouble walking, and vomiting.[3] Extreme doses may result in a respiratory depression, coma, or death.[3]Complications may include seizures, aspiration pneumonia, injuries including suicide, and low blood sugar.[3][4] Alcohol intoxication can lead to alcohol-related crime with perpetrators more likely to be intoxicated than victims.[13]
Alcohol intoxication typically begins after two or more alcoholic drinks.[5] Risk factors include a social situation where heavy drinking is common and a person having an impulsive personality.[5] Diagnosis is usually based on the history of events and physical examination.[6] Verification of events by witnesses may be useful.[6] Legally, alcohol intoxication is often defined as a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of greater than 5.4–17.4 mmol/L (25–80 mg/dL or 0.025–0.080%).[14][15] This can be measured by blood or breath testing.[5] Alcohol is broken down in the human body at a rate of about 3.3 mmol/L (15 mg/dL) per hour,[6] depending on an individual's metabolic rate (metabolism).[16]
Management of alcohol intoxication involves supportive care.[6] Typically this includes putting the person in the recovery position, keeping the person warm, and making sure breathing is sufficient.[4] Gastric lavage and activated charcoal have not been found to be useful.[6] Repeated assessments may be required to rule out other potential causes of a person's symptoms.[6]
Acute intoxication has been documented throughout history, and alcohol remains one of the world's most widespread recreational drugs.[17][18] Some religions consider alcohol intoxication to be a sin.[5][19]
