The use of drugs causes irreparable damage to health and is a danger to life!
Binge - long-term (over a day) alcohol consumption, which is accompanied by severe intoxication. This phenomenon is typical of people addicted to alcohol. The amount of alcohol consumed during such periods does not have time to be excreted, the decay products of alcohol poison the body. A prolonged weekly binge is often accompanied by depressive states.
What is the Difference Between Pseudo-Binge and Usual
The frenzy begins with a psychological and physical craving for alcohol. Long periods of alcohol consumption can also occur under the influence of external factors - vacation, payment of wages, tragic event. Doctors call this phenomenon pseudo-alcohol consumption.
The pseudo-binge usually lasts 7-10 days and ends the same way it started - under the influence of social changes. However, the damage done to the body by alcohol does not allow you to quickly get out of a weekly binge. It will take time and some steps to restore vital signs.
How to get out of a 7-day binge
A short binge (4-5 days) can be overcome at home. It is important to cleanse the body of the breakdown products of alcohol.
- You need to drink as much water as possible - at least a liter and a half. Vomiting and diarrhea are natural manifestations of the detoxification process. It is necessary to replenish the loss of fluid in such situations.
- If you have been drinking for 5 days, an increased dose of vitamin C will help cope with the effects of alcohol poisoning. It is recommended to take a daily dose of five times (400-450 mg). You can add foods rich in ascorbic acid (lemon, kiwi, strawberries, cabbage) to your diet.
- Use drugstore absorbents. Activated charcoal should be taken at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight. You can drink charcoal, silicon, or enterosorbent tablets.
- It is important to stabilize sleep and restore the state of the nervous system. Among the sedatives, the usual valerian is recommended. It should be remembered that some drugs cause a slowing of reactions, drowsiness.
- Within three days of a five-day binge, fatty and fried foods should be excluded from the diet. A damaged liver will not be able to handle these foods. Add boiled vegetables, rice, buckwheat to the menu.
Mortally dangerous!
The worst of the consequences is irreversible mental deterioration.
What to do in case of prolonged binge
Excessive alcohol consumption for a week or more is dangerous for a person from the point of view of various aspects. Often, after spending all the money on alcohol, the alcoholic begins to consume questionable drinks. In the course, it is, as they say, "all that burns". The danger of poisoning with unknown chemistry increases dramatically.
Ultimately, the body stops taking in alcohol and other foods. During this period, the alcoholic has vomiting, high blood pressure, tachycardia. The victim practically does not sleep, but rather falls into alcoholic fainting spells with vivid visions.
It is this turning point that prompts drunks to seek help.
Hospital treatment
The best way to get out of a two week binge is to go to the clinic. An individual treatment program 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 intoxication. Droppers are the most effective cleaning method. The solution allows you to wash off traces of poisoning from the blood. The necessary drugs are administered intravenously.
Strong sedatives are used. The purpose of using sedatives is to normalize mental state, stop panic attacks, and restore sleep. The dosage and schedule of admission are determined exclusively by the attending physician.
General strengthening therapy is aimed at restoring the functions of the liver, gastrointestinal tract, immunity. Depending on the state of the body, a course of vitamins, hepatoprotectors, etc. is prescribed. Rest and less physical activity have a positive effect on recovery. Hospital treatment lasts three to seven days.
Home visit
In order to avoid publicity and not to be registered as drug addicts, many alcoholics prefer to call the brigade at home. The detox methods in this case are the same. It is necessary to clean the blood with a dropper, to restore the general condition of the body.
To beat a two-week binge at home, contact only trusted specialists. Often, the intervention of unqualified personnel leads to a deterioration of the condition. Pseudo-doctors, whose services are paid at inflated prices, often do not leave information about the drugs administered to the victim. Therefore, the risk of entering intensive care is high.
Conclusion of alcohol consumption by reducing the dosage
If qualified medical care is not available for some reason, there is no choice but to come out of the binge on your own.
It is necessary to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed to 20-30 grams, increasing the interval between doses. Experts advise to use good quality vodka. You definitely need a snack. Usually at this stage the body of the alcoholic does not accept fatty foods, you can limit yourself to vegetables. Mashed vegetables, like potatoes, work well. It is important not to let the service drink alcoholic beverages.
It should be continued until the alcoholic begins to feel drowsy. Do not resume drinking alcohol after sleep. During the next 2-3 days, you need to pay attention to the restoration of the body, to establish sleep and strengthen the nervous system. Use valerian, an herbal sedative for this. Some people use nootropics - even a regular mild sedative, of which there are many in the public domain, will do. The available pharmaceutical preparations will help restore the liver.
Is it possible to suddenly come out of the frenzy
The method of abrupt alcohol refusal in severe poisoning remains controversial. Doctors talk about the stress on the body in this case. The presence of chronic diseases and diseases at the stage of exacerbation excludes this method.

By this time, there was nothing left in the alcoholic's stomach, the vomit was a mixture of bile and gastric juice (a translucent liquid ranging from yellow to swampy green). It is necessary to drink up to a liter and a half of boiled water for better cleansing of the stomach.
