School - Our Society - Connecting You If someone drinks too much
or has an adverse reaction while drinking, it is very important
they receive professional help as soon as possible. Quick
responses can save lives... Stay with the person until the
ambulance arrives. Ensure the person gets enough air by keeping
crowds back and opening windows. Loosen tight clothing. Keep
them warm- use blankets or a coat (but not too warm). If the
person is unconscious, don't leave them on their back - they
could choke. Clear any vomit away from their mouth. Turn them on
their side and into the recovery position. Gently tilt their
head back so their tongue does not block their airway. If
breathing has stopped, give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If
there is no pulse, apply CPR. Provide the ambulance officers
with as much information as you can - what they have been
drinking, how much they have been drinking, and any pre-existing
medical conditions that you know the
