Can you have alcohol poisoning but not be drunk?

Yes, it is possible to have alcohol poisoning without being drunk. Alcohol poisoning occurs when your blood alcohol content (BAC) reaches a dangerously high level. This can happen even if you don't feel drunk. In fact, some people who are experiencing alcohol poisoning may not even realize they are drinking too much.

There are a number of factors that can affect your BAC, including your weight, gender, age, and how much food you have eaten. Some medications can also interact with alcohol and increase your BAC. Drinking quickly or binge drinking (consuming a large amount of alcohol in a short period of time) can also increase your risk of alcohol poisoning.

The symptoms of alcohol poisoning include:

* Confusion

* Nausea and vomiting

* Slurred speech

* Difficulty walking

* Dizziness

* Seizures

* Loss of consciousness

If you think someone is experiencing alcohol poisoning, call 911 immediately. Alcohol poisoning can be fatal if not treated.
