<p>okay so im really into partying and stuff and i don't mind being a little buzzed to have fun. the thing is, one of my good friends almost died about 2 monthes ago from having alcohol poisoning. i wanna party and still have fun in college, but im scared im gonna be unable to stop myself, and get alcohol poisoning.</p>
<p>any tips on how to break this fear of getting alcohol poisoning?</p>
<p>(stop drinking isnt an option)</p>
<p>Moderation, Moderation, Moderation! Almost anything is OK in moderation. You can get buzzed and drink a couple of beers a night (albeit not every night) and be just fine. Just don't get ****faced every night and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>Have ever had any SINGLE MOMENT'S THOUGHT about my responsibilities? TO MY EMPLOYERS. Has it ever occured to you that I have agreed to look after the OVERLOOK until May the FIRST. Does it MATTER TO YOU AT ALL that the OWNERS have put their COMPLETE CONFIDENCE and TRUST in me that I have signed an agreement, a CONTRACT, in which I have accepted that RESPONSIBILITY?</p>
<p>Know your limit. Simple as that.</p>
<p>There was a huge thread on this like a week ago. Look it up.</p>
<p>I don't feel like annoying alcohol fanboys and/or spamming today so I'll stay outta this one.</p>
<p>Don't drink. Problem solved. Oh, yeah, and you won't be breaking the law.</p>
<p>Your an idiot</p>
<p>This is why theres so many people against underage drinking</p>
<p>I dunno. I mean, knowing your limits should be enough, but... when you're already under the influence, you don't "know" the things that you otherwise take for granted. How many people who get in drunk-driving accidents do you think actually plan on drinking and driving while sober??...</p>
<p>Stop drinking is sadly, for you, the only sure way to alleviate your fears of poisoning.</p>
<p>most people start drinking cause it looks cool to hold a bottle of beer, and then they can't stop, so they go downhill from there... just every time you are drinking and somewhat still have logic and senses really ask yourself why you're drinking the next beer.. just be able to know when enough is enough..</p>
<p>Drink red bull. You'll be around people who are getting to drunk to realize it's not alcohol you're drinking, and...you'll still be a little 'buzzed', just in a different sense? (I actually hate red bull, but someone suggested this once to me for when I get to college and I don't want to drink and it seems to make sense).</p>
<p>drinking redbull is nothing like drinking alcohol, not even a little...</p>
<p>i agree with the "know your limits." and drink with a good group of friends that will have your best interests in mind.</p>
<p>an important thing to remember is that the situation is becoming dangerous if your friend (who you are worried about) ISN'T vomitting. throwing up is the bodies way of getting rid of the alcohol (which is acting like a poison, hence, alcohol poisoning). is they aren't throwing up, and they've obviously had too many, get them to a hospital. </p>
<p>educate your friends and yourself so that you know when things are serious, and then know your limit and have fun. also, if you can drink with some friends that are choosing not to drink that night, then that is advisable, as they will not have their logic imparred (sp).</p>
<p>and if you drink too many red bulls u can die because your heart can stop it is beating so fast</p>
<p>Yeah, if they are throwing up (not blood) generally speaking they'll have a bad headache in the morning. </p>
<p>As MBP said, if you know someone has been drinking excessively and they have passed out/blacked out, unresponsive, but has not thrown up. Go to the hospital.</p>
<p>There is a way to lessen the effects of alcohol before and after you consume it.</p>
<p>Be sure to start drinking only on a full stomach because food acts as a barrier for alcohol absorption.</p>
<p>If you are asking how to stop, then I'd recommend you not drink because you're probably not going to stop when you start drinking.</p>
<p>Also try mixing Red Bull with a shot of vodka. The Red Bell stimulates and excites you while the Vodka has the opposite effect.</p>
<p>^That last bit of advice is stupid. That kind of tropic differential is actually horrible for the body.</p>
<p>^Of course it is</p>
<p>But someone mentioned Red Bull so I decided to add that last bit of information. </p>
<p>There are web pages that tell you how to lessen the effects of alcohol consumption.</p>
<p>make sure to have a buddy who is not drinking/drinking in miniscule amounts that can remind you of your limits. If you both agree to look out for each other it's less likely that you'll get stupid drunk and possibly get alcohol poisoning</p>
