Some people think it is funny when other people are drunk. Some think it is even funnier when they pass out. But there is nothing funny about asphyxiation caused by vomit being aspirated. Alcohol poisoning is one of the most occurences in college deaths, next to suicide. Signs of alcohol poisoning are vomiting, seizures, slow breathing, and hypothermia. When alcohol poisoning ocuurs it ca be fatal.
Now, how it has taken a toll on my life.
My mother was born into a family of alcoholics. It was so bad that her mother would hide alcohol in dresser drawers, dirty clothes baskets, pantries and other places throughout the house. Her father also drank every day in her presence. Thus my mother began drinking. Quickly she became addicted.
On January 28, 2003 my mother did not eat much, and she had only a hamburger throughout the course of the day. That morning she went into work, but they said that they did not need her for the day. So, she decided she'd meet up with three underage friends of hers and get drunk. She had a few drinks, but as the night grew she began to drink even more. By the end of the night the people at the party realized that my mother was lying still on the couch, and had already become cold. She had cmpletely stopped talking and laughing like she had been doing so much just minutes before. She was rushed to the hospital, she died in my brothers arms. The doctors attempted to revive her, but the attempts failed. She died in my brother's arms.
Alcohol poisoning is not the only way to die by drinking alcohol. Drunk driving can also be fatal. Alcohol has devastated my family and left a mark on our lives forever. Now do you see the effect alcohol has on you. Please do me a favor and do not drink, I dont want to see anyone die the way my mother did.
