Alcohol Emergency: What to Do if Someone Faints After Drinking? Doctor Explains

• Excessive alcohol, common during New Year, can cause unconsciousness and is a medical emergency requiring immediate hospitalisation.
• Dr. Lokendra Gupta explains rapid alcohol intake affects the brain, causing confusion, sluggishness, and potential alcohol poisoning with vomiting.
• High-risk individuals (diabetes, heart disease, etc.) face severe dangers from heavy drinking, as it worsens conditions and reduces medication effectiveness.
• Treatment for alcohol-induced fainting includes IV drips, blood tests, anti-emetics, glucose, thiamine, and electrolytes, followed by 6-12 hours of observation.
• Never mix alcohol with narcotic pills/injections or junk food, as these combinations are life-threatening and severely damaging to health.
