Alcohol poisoning is defined as "an acute toxic condition resulting from consuming excessive quantities of alcohol within a short period of time."
The metabolic breakdown of alcohol is performed by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which is found mostly in the liver; over 90% of all alcohol removal from the body is done by ADH.
In a recent survey of elderly patients with alcoholism, 30% of 5,600 elderly patients were found to have concurrent psychiatric disorders.
Binge drinking, which is defined as rapidly downing five or more drinks in a row, is a main cause of alcohol poisoning.
