Attention!
Drug use causes irreparable damage to health and is life threatening!
Overeating - prolonged (over a day) alcohol consumption, which is accompanied by significant intoxication. This phenomenon is typical for people with alcohol dependence. The amount of alcohol consumed during such periods does not have time to separate, the breakdown products of alcohol poison the body. Prolonged weekly drinking is often accompanied by depressive states.
What is the difference between pseudo-drinking and ordinary
Overeating begins with a psychological and physical thirst for alcohol. Long periods of alcohol consumption can also occur under the influence of external factors - holidays, payroll, tragic event. Doctors call this phenomenon pseudo-drinking.
Pseudo-drinking usually lasts 7-10 days and ends the same way it started - under the influence of social change. However, the damage done to the body by alcohol does not allow you to quickly get out of the weekly binge. It will take time and certain measures to restore vital signs.
How to get out of a 7-day binge
A short binge (4-5 days) can be defeated at home. It is important to cleanse the body of the breakdown products of alcohol.
- You should drink as much water as possible - at least one and a half liters. Vomiting and diarrhea are natural manifestations of the detoxification process. In such situations it is necessary to replenish fluid loss.
- If you have been drinking for 5 days, an increased dose of vitamin C will help you cope with the effects of alcohol intoxication. It is recommended to take five times the daily dose (400-450 mg). You can add foods rich in ascorbic acid (lemon, kiwi, strawberries, cabbage) to the diet.
- Use pharmaceutical sorbents. Activated charcoal should be taken in the amount of 1 tablet per 10 kg of body weight. You can drink tablets based on charcoal, silicon or enterosorbents.
- It is important to stabilize sleep and restore the state of the nervous system. Of the sedatives, common valerian is recommended. It should be remembered that some drugs provoke delayed reactions, drowsiness.
- In the next three days after five days of overeating, fatty and fried foods should be excluded from the diet. The damaged liver will not be able to handle these foods. Add to the menu cooked vegetables, rice, buckwheat.
Deadly dangerous!
The worst consequence is irreversible mental deterioration.
What to do in case of prolonged intoxication
Drinking for a week or more is dangerous for a person in terms of various aspects. Often, after spending all his money on alcohol, the alcoholic begins to consume questionable drinks. "Everything that burns" is in progress, as they say. The risk of poisoning with unknown chemicals increases significantly.
Eventually, the body stops consuming alcohol and any other food. During this period, the alcoholic has vomiting, high blood pressure, tachycardia. The victim practically does not sleep, but rather falls into alcoholic seizures with vivid visions.
It is this turning point that prompts drunks to seek help.
Inpatient treatment
The best way to get out of a two-week binge is to go to the clinic. An individual treatment regimen is prescribed by the doctor after examination of the patient. It is important to take into account the general condition of the body, the presence of chronic diseases, the degree of alcohol poisoning. Droppers are the most effective method of cleaning. The solution allows you to wash away traces of blood poisoning. The necessary drugs are administered intravenously.
Powerful sedatives are used. The purpose of the use of sedatives is to normalize the mental state, stop panic attacks and restore sleep. The dosage and schedule of administration are determined exclusively by the attending physician.
General strengthening therapy is aimed at restoring the functions of the liver, gastrointestinal tract, immunity. Based on the condition of the body, a course of vitamins, hepatoprotectors, etc. is prescribed. Rest and less exercise have a positive effect on recovery. Inpatient treatment takes three to seven days.
Home call
To avoid publicity and not be registered with drug addiction, many alcoholics prefer to call the brigade at home. The methods of detoxification in this case are the same. It is necessary to purify the blood with a dropper, to restore the general condition of the body.
To beat the two-week overeating at home, contact only trusted professionals. Often the intervention of unqualified staff leads to deterioration. Pseudo-medics, whose services are paid for at an inflated price, often do not leave information about the victim's medications. Therefore, there is a high risk of getting into intensive care.
Conclusion from heavy drinking by reducing the dose
If for some reason qualified medical care is not available, there is no choice but to get yourself out of the binge.
It is necessary to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed to 20-30 grams, increasing the interval between doses. Experts advise using good quality vodka. You definitely need a snack. Usually at this time the body of the alcoholic does not eat fatty foods, you can limit yourself to vegetables. Vegetable purees, like potatoes, work well. It is important not to allow the ward to drink alcohol.
It should continue until the alcoholic begins to feel sleepy. Do not resume drinking alcohol after sleep. Over the next 2-3 days you should pay attention to the recovery of the body, to establish sleep and strengthen the nervous system. Use valerian, a soothing herbal remedy for this. Some people use nootropics - even the simple mild sedative, many of which are available in public, will work. The available pharmaceuticals will help to restore the liver.
Is it possible to abruptly get out of the binge
The method of abrupt abstinence from alcohol in case of severe intoxication remains controversial. Doctors talk about the stress experienced by the body in this case. The presence of chronic diseases and diseases in the acute stage precludes this method.
The first effects of this method are felt within a few hours after giving up alcohol. The remnants of alcohol in the blood break down and begin to collapse, repeated vomiting. At that time there was nothing left in the alcoholic's stomach, vomiting was a mixture of bile and gastric juice (translucent liquid from yellow to swamp green). For better cleansing of the stomach it is necessary to drink up to one and a half liters of boiled water.
One begins to tremble and dizzy, coordination is impaired. Walking in such moments is almost impossible. It's hard for him to even get to the toilet. Lying in this state is not recommended, it is better to choose a sitting position.
After 3-4 hours of torture there is a slight relief. You can drink water, cold unsweetened tea. You should not take fragile dishes, it is better to use metal or plastic devices, it is recommended to drink through a straw.
As soon as the vomiting subsides, you need to take a sorbent. Among the popular drugs, activated charcoal and others. One of the available remedies is 1/2 tablespoon of baking soda. The powder should be washed off with water or tea. Then do not use any drugs for 1, 5-2 hours.
The first day after abrupt cessation of alcohol, weakness, nausea, tremor continue. The psychological state is gradually improving. Bright manifestations of emotions can be observed: laughter, tears. Sleep does not usually occur.
On the second day you can eat, get organized. Low physical activity is appropriate. One week you should follow a diet - switch to vegetables rich in fiber, dairy products. It is important to maintain the central nervous system: take sedatives, try to normalize sleep.
