The dangers of Acute Alcohol Intoxication, more commonly known as Alcohol Poisoning or Alcohol Overdose, are real and can happen anywhere. Your awareness and knowledge about the signs and symptoms could mean life or death to a person you care about. Try to wake them up. Call their name, shake them, pinch them. If they do not respond – GET HELP! Check the person’s skin. If his/her skin is pale or is cold or is clammy – GET HELP! Listen to their breathing. If it is irregular, or too slow/shallow (less than 8 breaths per minute or more than 10 seconds between breaths) – GET HELP! GET HELP 1. If you discover any of the above symptoms, call 9-1-1 or NDSU campus police at 231-8998. Only one of the symptoms is reason enough to call 9-1-1, better SAFE than SORRY! 2. Stay with the person while waiting for help to arrive, don’t ever just let them ‘sleep it off’. If their breathing stops, perform CPR. 3. Turn the person on his/her side to prevent choking. Better SAFE than SORRY.
