Detailed explanation-1: -Alcohol poisoning is a serious-and sometimes deadly-consequence of drinking large amounts of alcohol in a short period of time. Drinking too much too quickly can affect your breathing, heart rate, body temperature and gag reflex and potentially lead to a coma and death.
Detailed explanation-2: -Alcohol poisoning is when there’s too much alcohol in your blood, and it causes parts of your brain to shut down. It’s also called alcohol overdose. Alcohol is a depressant. That means it can affect your brain and nervous system, slowing your breathing, your heart rate, and other important tasks that your body does.
Detailed explanation-3: -Alcohol poisoning happens when there is too much alcohol in the bloodstream that areas of the brain that control basic life support functions-such as breathing, heart rate, and temperature control-begin to shut down.
Detailed explanation-4: -High blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, and digestive problems. Cancer of the breast, mouth, throat, esophagus, voice box, liver, colon, and rectum. Weakening of the immune system, increasing the chances of getting sick. Learning and memory problems, including dementia and poor school performance.
