Topic: Brother in hospital

My brother has what seems to be alcohol poisioning. We were sitting around the table, talking, while he had a bit too much whiskey. He was drunk, but we thought nothing of it until he passed out, and began vomiting. Fearing a Jimi Hendrix experience, we called 911 and now he's in the hospital with no word yet on his condition, and no real way of contacting anyone about it.

Needless to say, it's been a hell of a night.

Well, you did the right thing at least.

The decision to call the ambulance is always a tricky one. Are they just lol fucked up or are they hospital fucked up?

I suppose if you vomit while passed out, that makes for hospital fucked up. Whenever I've had too much to drink and start vomitting, at least I wake up if I was pased out.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Vomiting is, generally, a good sign. It's when you get so drunk that your vomit reflex is suppressed that it gets really dangerous.

You can't get alcohol poisoning from "a bit too much." It takes massive amounts of alcohol in a short time period to get alcohol poisoning. Take it from someone who once got .32 on a breathalyzer in college: you have to work really hard to get alcohol poisoning.

I didn't get alcohol poisoning--that was sort of the point of my little story--but it certainly wasn't a pleasant evening. After the party, at any rate.

Reminds me when I was 17 or so and my friend drank WAY too much. We didn't notice how much she had until it was too late. We didn't have to take her to the hospital, however.

Instead we stripped her down to her undies, bathed her to get her temperature down and made her drink massive amounts of water, which in turn got her to throw up...

She was ill for the next 4 days.

I've been in the hospital for alcohol poisoning and it certainly varies.

They just monitored me in the ER but some cases are worse than others. It's certainly taught me a lesson.

You need to space out the massive amounts of alcohol.

Hope things go alright with your brother though.

Thanks for the well wishes. The dumb prick had a blood alcohol level of .38 and almost died. Thankfully he's home and fine now. I'm surprised I didn't smack the shit out of him when he got home for the scare he gave us.

Holy shit, you're not kidding. LD50 occurs at a BAC of .4. You definitely did a good thing by calling the ambulance.

When I was 16 I went up to visit some friends in Philly. One of them who flew in had with him a bottle of Jager. Now...I wrestled in high school. 189 class part of the year, Heavyweight afterward. I was, and am, a big guy. This guy, Fred, nineteen years old, weighed...eh...the light side of 120. Now I preface this by saying he CLAIMED he hadn't had anything else to drink when we asked later...I suppose it's possible given how small this guy was. On the way home from the airport we stopped at a friend's house. In the...say...twentyish minutes for the trip, he killed a bottle of Jagermeister. Then in the twentyish minutes we were at the friend's house, he killed a bottle of vodka. Not a name I recognized, either...generic vodka which was about as healthy to drink as paint stripper if I were any guess.

So we get him home and of course they live on the second floor so I have to haul Fred up the stairs (being the only big guy in this group) because he has passed out. I assume it's generic passed out. He'd been singing showtunes badly not long before, then he got real quiet, then he passed out in the car. Puked bigtime when we got him out of the car, but I carry him upstairs. He starts yurking in his sleep. His mother (who was visiting at the time) freaks and tells us to get him to the hospital.

So I get to carry him back DOWN the stairs. Asshole puked down the back of my shirt. As if having puke down your back isn't vile enough, whatever alchemical compound had gestated in Fred's stomach stripped the color right out of my custom-made Spawn shirt, and then proceeded to ooze down the crack of my ass (yeah I was in a baggy pants phase, sue me). Vile, Vile, FUCKING VILE.

Anyway they get him in the car, I change, we get to the hospital. At the time I didn't get just how serious Fred's condition was, but they pumped his stomach, fed him charcoal biscuits, etc. He ended up staying in the hospital the rest of the time I was in Philly (three days) and came home looking like a zombie.

This has taught me several things:
1. Someone must be a good friend if you don't drop them when they puke down your back
2. Never drink for stupidity
3. When the Zombie apocalypse begins it will be because some 120 pound wee-man chemically pickled his innards and medical science revived him into some sort of half-life.

I think the moral of Deth's story is, 16 years old or not... he had a custom made Spawn shirt.
