A High School Student Drinks Excessively With His Cronies, Experiences Alcohol Poisoning, And Discovers That Learning Something In Class Can Affect Your Life



Andy was a ninth grader who commonly seemed to be living on the edge. Andy had a risk taking personality and usually wanted to do what his older brothers were doing. The fundamental glitch with this was that all three of his brothers were at least 21 years old and were as a consequence able from a legal standpoint to drive a vehicle and to consume alcohol.

Andy, in spite of this, had a difficult time accepting the fact that as a fifteen-year-old young man he should not be drinking alcoholic beverages. In fact, then again, Andy normally drank with his cronies after school, particularly on the weekends.

One weekend, Andy was invited to drive around with some of his older guy friends. One of his buddies was old enough to buy alcohol. After buying some wine coolers, wine, and beer, Andy and his pals went to a public recreational area and drank for roughly two hours.

After drinking roughly ten bottles of beer, Andy started to feel nauseous and then threw up. When he became unconscious on the tennis court, one of his drinking friends called 911 for help. It was fortunate that the call for medical help was made because when his pals went to the hospital to see Andy, they found out that Andy had been manifesting alcohol poisoning symptoms. More specifically, Andy had suffered through an alcohol overdose.

After getting alcohol poisoning treatment, Andy was frankly amazed to learn that he had overdosed on alcohol because he "only" had approximately five or ten alcoholic beverages. When he explained this to the attending physician at the hospital, then again, the healthcare practitioner notified Andy that drinking five or ten wine coolers over a two or three hour period of time could in reality be significantly more alcohol than can be metabolized by the body. The physician further stated how extreme amounts of alcohol can cause the brain to shut down an individual's breathing and that when this transpires, a person can expire.

This was the first warning to Andy that he was drinking in a perilous manner and that there are effects for such actions. The healthcare practitioner told Andy that he was a fortunate individual because he almost lost his life from an alcohol overdose the previous night.

The healthcare professional also talked to Andy's parents and suggested that they get alcohol counseling for Andy. His parents were elated that Andy was out of harm's way and notified the healthcare professional that they would look into getting Andy alcohol therapy.

While conversing with his parents, Andy notified them that there must be a good reason why he did not die and that he was grateful that he was still alive. He also notified his parents that the weirdest part about the entire drinking event was that he had learned about alcohol poisoning the previous week at school.

At the time, what his health instructor, Mr. Johnson, was articulating didn't seem to make too much sense to Andy. Now that he almost passed away, then again, he felt that he should have listened more conscientiously in Mr. Johnson's health class and applied what he had learned to his life.

Andy told his parents that he couldn't wait to go back to the classroom and make an apology to Mr. Johnson for not paying closer attention to something that was as pertinent as learning about alcohol poisoning.
