Helping a Drunk Friend




Your friend has had too much to drink? To avoid further problems, here's ways you can help them:

- Don't offer or give them any more alcohol.

- Give them water and try to convince them to drink it (NEVER force them to drink water or eat, their gag reflexes are DULLED and they may CHOKE on it! I say give them water because alcohol is very dehydrating and that can be dangerous)

- Keep your friend warm using blankets or a hoodie. (EVEN if they FEEL warm, their high alcohol-blood levels lower their body temperature!)

- Sit them down, and if they pass out, lay them ON THEIR SIDE. You lay them on their side because if they are laying on their back or stomach, they can still vomit when they're passed out, and they can drown in their own vomit. (Nasty.)
