I'm of the opinion that people think, or say, they were alcohol poisoned when they were really just extremely fucking drunk.
I've been extremely fucking drunk. I've never been APed.

True. I was probably borderline. But I didn't go to the hospital and nearly died. Next time I'll just suck it up and go get some medical treatment, you can bet on that!

I didn't mean you specifically. I think most drinkers know when they've truly had more than enough (and from what I've gathered from your posts you're a drinker.)
It's just more people my age almost do it as... a status thing. Like, they bitch about it, but at the same time there's some sort of unspoken awesomeness by drinking so much you need your stomach pumped. "Dude, I drank so much vodka that one time I got alcohol poisoning. It sucked." No, if you did you would have had more than just a hang over and a black out. You were just really fucking drunk.

No. I've had plenty of blackouts and some ripping hangovers that kicked my ass for a day or more after. But only once do I consider myself "poisoned". But it was college, what can I say.

Being drunk is technically the same thing as having alcohol poisoning, because alcohol (like many drugs) is a poison. You have to ingest enough of it to overwhelm your liver's capacity to process out the toxins before you are noticeably drunk. Clearly there is a difference between alcohol poisoning in which you are flirting with a 6 and alcohol poisoning in which you are in Coma in the ER but its all poisoning just on a spectrum.
Speaking of I am going to go get drunk now bye!

Food poisoning is when there is something wrong with your food that causes you to be sick, not eating so much that you're uncomfortably stuffed or you puke.
We could get into semantics all day long, but I think we all get the point.

No, not the same thing. Normally there is not poison in your food so it doesn't make you sick. Alcohol is always a poison. If it wasn't a poison it would just taste funny and wouldn't make you drunk. Its just that you can drink lots and lots of alcohol and experience pleasant effects without getting sick and in certain amounts it can actually have health benefits.
I'm not trying to tell you not to drink, because I love drinking and do it all the fucking time, but the naked scientific fact of the matter is that alcohol is delicious poison.

I know you're not telling me not to drink (nor would I listen to you.)

If I drink two beers in an hour it's more than my liver can process, but it doesn't make me sick.
I can't drink lots and lots of alcohol (relative to my tolerance level) and not get sick. I also can't eat lots and lots of food relative to my stomach capacity and not get sick.
I get what you're saying, I just think it's a weak argument that I hear from so many people.

so is oxygen
Quote:
A poison is any substance that is capable of causing injury, illness or death to an organism. Salt, water and oxygen are all poisons because in high enough quantities they can harm people. Too much salt in a diet can cause serious health problems, hyper hydration can kill athletes, and too much oxygen given to a premature infant can cause permanent blindness.
Toxicologists emphasize that “the dosage makes the poison.” Although salt, water, oxygen, aspirin, alcohol beverages, and many other substances can cause poisoning in excessive amounts, it makes no sense to call them poisons.
So why do so many groups and organizations insist on calling alcohol a poison? Apparently to stigmatize alcoholic beverages and frighten people into alcohol abstinence. The tactic was first used effectively by the Anti-Saloon League, the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, the KKK and other anti-alcohol groups. The technique is still widely used today.
Honest communication doesn’t mislead or deceive. Calling alcohol a poison is misleading and deceptive.
