You and a friend are at a party where people are drinking. Your friend is being super loud, their speech is slurred, and they keep falling down. Your friend’s behavior is embarrassing. It’s also a sign they might have alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when a person drinks more alcohol than their body can process. Because everyone’s body is different, there is no set amount of alcohol that is safe for everyone. (Drinking any amount of alcohol is illegal if you’re under 21.) The best way to avoid alcohol poisoning is to not drink at all. But if you suspect someone has had too much, you should get help. You just might save a life.
