A Bouncer At An Elite Bar Learns Why Alcohol Overdose Symptoms And Signs Can Save Another Person's Life
Just a week ago, Ryan applied for a position as a bouncer at one of the local discotheques. He had studied aikido, gatka, ninjitsu, judo, and karate for eight years; he was a body builder; he took daily vitamins, minerals, and supplements; he was into health foods and healthy eating; and he seemed well suited for such a position. When Ryan got the announcement that he had been hand picked for the job, he was exceedingly satisfied. Since this was an exclusive nightclub, however, he had to go through a five week instructional class.
On the very first day of class, the trainer started talking about individuals who drink excessively and what the bartenders, barmaids, and bouncers should do when this situation arises. When the instructor started talking about alcohol poisoning, Ryan was delighted to find out that all of the new bouncers, bartenders, and barmaids had to learn about an alcohol overdose and precisely what they should do when they noticed a person who was exhibiting alcohol poisoning symptoms or displaying alcohol poisoning signs.
More explicitly, all the new barmaids, bouncers, and bartenders were instructed that nausea and vomiting were almost without exception one of the first signs of alcohol poisoning and that unconsciousness was perchance the most highly visible alcohol poisoning symptom or sign. The lecturer went out of his way to underline the fact that alcohol overdose symptoms were signals from the body and from the brain that the drinker had consumed more alcohol than his or her body can metabolize.
There were, nevertheless, more than a few other symptoms and signs of alcohol poisoning that all the new bouncers, bartenders, and barmaids were taught to be aware of. For instance, the students in the class learned that people who experience alcohol poisoning exhibit confusion, often have seizures, are difficult to awaken, and they exhibit poor reflex responses.
In addition, the members in the class learned that many individuals who experience alcohol poisoning also exhibit slow, shallow or irregular breathing; slurred speech; blue tinged or pale skin; and little response from painful stimuli, for instance from pinching.
To illustrate the bearing that binge drinking has on alcohol poisoning, the lecturer informed the members of the class that a person who gets intoxicated just a few times per year is, by definition, engaging in alcohol abuse. Such an individual, however, is in all probability not an alcohol dependent individual, but is in all probability engaging in binge drinking. As articulated by the lecturer, engaging in binge drinking even once, unfortunately, can result in an alcohol overdose that in some circumstances can be lethal.
The lecturer then informed the students in the class that the best response for alcohol poisoning is the following: if it is suspected that an individual has alcohol poisoning, call 911 and ask for emergency medical assistance, even if the drinker is underage. By pursuing this plan of action, the drinker will get the prompt alcohol poisoning medical attention he or she needs.
After learning about alcohol poisoning and especially about the signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning, it may be noted, Ryan realized that he had discovered some essential information that might save a person's life in the distant future. Without a doubt, Ryan learned that knowledge of the typical alcohol poisoning signs and symptoms and knowing how to quickly and properly respond to such symptoms and signs (by promptly calling 911 and asking for emergency medical assistance) can help a drinker avoid a lethal alcohol overdose.
