A Night Out With Friends From College at a Local College Disco Leads To Drinking Problems and Alcohol Overdose Symptoms
When Janice was in high school, she had acquired a reputation as a person who studied much of the time and who rarely, if ever, let her hair down by drinking with her friends. She seemed almost obsessed about doing well academically so that she would be able to go after a career that she not only enjoyed but one that also gave her some security from a financial position.
After much deliberation, ultimately she came to a decision that she wanted to be a lawyer. In order to do this, nevertheless, she would first have to finish four years of undergraduate education.
After Graduating From High School Janice Gets Accepted Into An Illustrious Undergrad University as a Foundation For a Career as a Trial Lawyer
After Janice graduated from high school, she applied to and was accepted into an esteemed program in history. Her logic behind this decision was that this subject matter would be a good springboard for law school and wouldn’t be comparable to the bulk of law school applicants who choose political science as their undergraduate major or minor.
After graduating with a 3.7 GPA at the undergraduate level, she applied to and was accepted at a greatly admired law school at one of the Pacific Ten universities.
She enjoyed her legal studies but sometimes she was snowed under from all the work that was necessary at law school. Akin to the way she handled herself in her high school and undergraduate days, however, she made pals effortlessly but scarcely got involved in social events until the term had ended.
After Feeling Overjoyed That She Had Done Very Well on Her Finals, Janice Wanted to Let Her Hair Down and Do Something Besides Going to College For a Change
Janice was the kind of individual who worked in a vigorous manner to finish what she was doing and then would take a breather when she could. As is the case, nevertheless, a large number of the things she did between school sessions or during her summer vacations were not associated with drinking. Obviously, Janice was anything but a party-girl. Now that her finals for her second year in law school were done and feeling proud of the fact that she had done a super job on her finals, because of this, she wanted to take a break and do some celebrating.
Drinking at a Local Club Leads to An Alcohol Overdose, Calling The Emergency Number, and a Trip to A Drug and Alcohol Rehab Hospital
So Janice and a few of her friends went to a local watering hole where they had a few glasses of wine. As the hours went by, Janice persisted in drinking without having a care in the world about research projects or exams the next day. Indeed, Janice revealed to her classmates how excited she was to whoop it up by drinking with her friends.
As the evening proceeded, Janice and her friends continued to drink. In actual fact, she was having such a marvelous time that she didn’t want the night to come to an end. It was almost as if she was making up for lost time and making an effort to shove a year’s worth of fun and excitement into a single evening. Such a “game plan,” however, seldom works. If truth be told, when Janice went to the lady’s room and threw up, her friends started to get concerned about her health.
About ten minutes later when Janice started to slur her speech, talk in a confused manner, and then fall unconscious, in spite of this, her classmates instantaneously knew that they needed to call 911 and ask for medical assistance because they thought that Janice was displaying alcohol poisoning symptoms.
Once Janice was in the drug and alcohol rehab hospital, the presiding healthcare professional corroborated what her friends had hypothesized, that is to say, that Janice had substantially more alcohol than her body could metabolize and, as a consequence, she experienced an alcohol overdose.
After the emergency room treatment team pumped her stomach until no gastric contents were detectable, Janice was transported to the recovery room. After staying roughly six hours in recovery, Janice was then transferred to one of the regular hospital rooms. Fortunately, the most critical part of her hospitalization had passed and all of her vital signs were back to normal.
In response to Janice’s medical condition, her friends kindheartedly telephoned her Mom and Dad. As a consequence, early the next day, her Mom and Dad and her best buddies went to the hospital to see how Janice was doing.
Janice Comes Close to Dying, is Gratified to be Alive, and Promises to Never Again Drink in an Abusive and Hazardous Manner
Janice was conscious of the fact that she came an inch from losing her life and, consequently, was thankful to be alive. Her Mother and Father knew how hard she worked at the university and how little she let herself socialize with her buddies. Nonetheless, they also knew that Janice needed to stay away from excessive drinking.
As a consequence, they suggested that down the road, whenever a drinking occasion arises, that she always drink responsibly and in moderation. Janice agreed and assured her friends and her Mom and Dad that she would never again drink in an excessive and abusive manner. In her own words, “I never pondered the fact that I would become one of the alcohol abuse and alcoholism statistics in the local city newspaper. I now know that abusive drinking is not for me. I say publicly that this will never happen again.”
Fortunately, Janice was not only “school smart” but she also displayed a lot of common sense. Stated more precisely, she instantaneously understood that she had made an error and made up her mind that she would never make the same error in judgment again. As a matter of fact, she now understood that she had involved herself in “binge drinking” and that even one instance of this type of abusive drinking can end in death.
