As the doctor noted, the condition that makes people drink alcohol can also be called a sign of mild poisoning. We are talking about a feeling of relaxation, disinhibition.
Some symptoms include confusion, loss of orientation in time and space.
In addition, there may be nausea, vomiting, pallor, and the smell of acetone on exhalation.
In such a situation, you should stop drinking, take activated carbon or another enterosorbent. Immediately after this, it is advisable to go to bed.
