Alcohol poisoning is a serious - sometimes deadly - result of consuming dangerous amounts of alcohol. When your body absorbs too much alcohol, it can directly impact your central nervous system, slowing your breathing, heart rate and gag reflex. This can lead to choking, coma and even death. Even if someone survives an alcohol overdose, he or she can suffer irreversible brain damage.

  1. A drug overdose.
  2. Alcohol poisoning occurs when the body absorbs too much alcohol causing the areas in the brain that control consciousness, respiration and heart rate to shut down, which may lead to a coma or ultimately death.
