Emergency Physician Questions Alcohol Poisoning

What are the signs of alcohol poisoning?

My nephew was just sent to the ER for alcohol poisoning, but the signs apparently weren't obvious to the people he was with. What are the signs someone should recognize to make sure the person gets treated properly?

The common sign is an altered level of consciousness or unresponsive. The patient appears drunk or under the influence; not acting appropriately, personality changes, and uncoordinated movements are the usual signs.
