Alcohol poisoning?

What happens when you get this?
I've been drinking loads over the Christmas holidays and after a very drunk last night I woke up this morning feeling really ill and I keep wanting to puke, which I NEVER do. I've only puked once from alcohol in the last 5 years. I've also got like a burning sensation at the back of my throat and whenever I drink or eat something it really hurts. Just wondering is this alcohol poisoning or something else?

Not so sure about the burning sensation though? Perhaps you just drank too much of the strong stuff :thumb:
Well I'm not quite that bad so I guess it's not alcohol poisoning!
lol Yeah my mum said that, I was only drinking beer and cider last night though.
Signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning include:
Confusion, stupor
Vomiting
Seizures
Slow or irregular breathing
Blue-tinged skin or pale skin
Low body temperature (hypothermia)
Unconsciousness ("passing out")
It's not necessary for all of these symptoms to be present before seeking help. A person who has become unconscious, or cannot be roused, is at risk of dying.
