drunk

******* intoxication, also known in overdose as ******* poisoning, commonly described as drunkenness or inebriation, is the negative behavior and physical effects caused by a recent consumption of *******. In addition to the toxicity of ethanol, the main psychoactive component of *******ic beverages, other physiological symptoms may arise from the activity of acetaldehyde, a metabolite of *******. These effects may not arise until hours after ingestion and may contribute to the condition colloquially known as a hangover.
Symptoms of intoxication at lower doses may include mild sedation and poor coordination. At higher doses, there may be slurred speech, trouble walking, and vomiting. Extreme doses may result in a respiratory depression, coma, or death. Complications may include seizures, aspiration pneumonia, injuries including suicide, and low blood sugar. ******* intoxication can lead to *******-related crime with perpetrators more likely to be intoxicated than victims.******* intoxication typically begins after two or more *******ic drinks. Risk factors include a social situation where heavy drinking is common and a person having an impulsive personality. Diagnosis is usually based on the history of events and physical examination. Verification of events by witnesses may be useful. Legally, ******* intoxication is often defined as a blood ******* concentration (BAC) of greater than 5.4–17.4 mmol/L (25–80 mg/dL or 0.025–0.080%). This can be measured by blood or breath testing. ******* is broken down in the human body at a rate of about 3.3 mmol/L (15 mg/dL) per hour, depending on an individual's metabolic rate (metabolism).Management of ******* intoxication involves supportive care. Typically this includes putting the person in the recovery position, keeping the person warm, and making sure breathing is sufficient. Gastric lavage and activated charcoal have not been found to be useful. Repeated assessments may be required to rule out other potential causes of a person's symptoms.Acute intoxication has been documented throughout history, and ******* remains one of the world's most widespread recreational drugs. Some religions consider ******* intoxication to be a sin.
