Just a few days ago, Ryan applied for a position as a bouncer at one of the local nightspots. He had studied ninjitsu, judo, karate, gatka, and aikido for two years; he was a body builder; he took daily minerals, supplements, and vitamins; he was into health foods and healthy eating; and he seemed well matched for such a job. When Ryan received the announcement that he had been chosen for the job, he was especially pleased. Since this was an elite nightclub, nevertheless, he had to go through a two week training class.

On the very first day of class, the teacher began talking about people who drink excessively and what the bouncers, bartenders, and barmaids should do when this situation arises. When the lecturer started discussing alcohol poisoning, Ryan was pleased to find out that all of the new bartenders, barmaids, and bouncers were required to learn about alcohol poisoning and what they should do when they noticed a drinker who was exhibiting alcohol poisoning symptoms or manifesting the signs of alcohol poisoning.

More directly, all the new barmaids, bartenders, and bouncers learned that vomiting and nausea were almost always one of the first signs of alcohol poisoning and that unconsciousness was perchance the most highly perceptible alcohol poisoning sign or symptom. The instructor also made it a point to underline the fact that alcohol poisoning signs were messages from the body and from the brain that the individual had consumed more alcohol than his or her body can process.

There were, however, quite a few other symptoms and signs of alcohol poisoning that all the new bartenders, barmaids, and bouncers were trained to identify. For instance, the members in the class learned that individuals with alcohol poisoning often have seizures, are difficult to awaken, exhibit confusion, and they exhibit poor reflex responses.

Moreover, the students in the class discovered that many people who experience alcohol poisoning also manifest slow, shallow or irregular breathing; blue tinged or pale skin; slurred speech; and little response from painful stimuli, for instance from pinching.

To exemplify the impact that binge drinking has on alcohol poisoning, the instructor explained to the members in the class that a drinker who gets drunk just a few times on an annual basis is, by definition, engaging in abusive drinking. Such a person, however, is probably not an alcohol dependent individual, but is more likely than not engaging in binge drinking. As expressed by the instructor, engaging in binge drinking even once, sadly, can result in an alcohol overdose that in extreme instances can be fatal.

The lecturer then told the class members that the correct response for alcohol poisoning is the following: if it is assumed that an individual is suffering from an alcohol overdose, call 911 and ask for immediate medical assistance, even if the individual is underage. By following this course of action, the individual will get the prompt alcohol poisoning treatment he or she requires.

After learning about alcohol poisoning and especially about the symptoms and signs of alcohol poisoning, it may be pointed out, Ryan felt that he had discovered some important information that might save a drinker's life down the road. Without a doubt, Ryan learned that knowledge of the predictable alcohol poisoning signs and symptoms and knowing how to quickly and appropriately react to such signs and symptoms (by promptly calling 911 and asking for urgent medical assistance) can help a person avoid a fatal alcohol overdose.
