What to do in case of poisoning?
It is important not to leave the victim alone.
You should keep the person awake and in a sitting position.
Do not induce vomiting, as the reflex may not work properly, increasing the risk of choking.
If the victim can drink, offer them water, but it is better to avoid coffee.
Keep them warm: do not send the person under a cold shower, as alcohol lowers body temperature, which can lead to hypothermia.
If breathing stops, begin artificial respiration and resuscitation efforts until medical personnel arrive or the person's breathing and circulation are restored.
