ABSTRACT

The gravity of alcohol poisoning is profound and it is a leading cause of poisoning in many countries. Alcohol poisoning affects our organs and can lead to fatality. Recognition of alcohol intoxication is challenging and appropriate management is necessary to avoid significant patient morbidity.

Incidence of alcohol poisoning is gradually increasing across the world including Bangladesh.

Most of the patients were presented without consciousness within 3-7 hours of consuming alcohol. Recently, on February 2, 2021, 12 people including 2 students have died from alcohol poisoning in Dhaka and Bogura district while around 50 people were admitted in hospital with alcohol poisoning.
