Alcohol intoxication is one of the most common forms of poisoning.
Due to alcohol poisoning, it is quite possible to develop acute complications:
- Suffocation (due to liquid);
- Cessation of breathing;
- Loss of a large amount of fluid;
- Attack;

- Unfortunately, sometimes people die.
It is possible to reduce the risk of intoxication by certain methods.
For prevention, we recommend:

- Take alcohol in moderation, listen to your body;
- It is not allowed to drink alcohol if you have taken medicine;
