What to do if someone is dead drunk 1. Try to ascertain whether the person's blood alcohol level has peaked - did they stop drinking a couple of hours ago? Were they drinking at a constant and steady rate? Or did they imbibe a large quantity shortly before collapsing? In the latter case it is likely that their blood alcohol level may continue to increase and they will need very close supervision.
2. Put the person to bed, lying on their side or stomach - this is to avoid inhalation of own vomit. Keep the person warm.
3. Check the person's condition frequently, at least every half hour.
4. If the person becomes unconscious (cannot be roused) call an ambulance without delay.
5. As the person starts to recover, give lots of liquids to aid rehydration. On no account allow the person to consume more alcohol. It does not alleviate a hangover and can be extremely dangerous. |
