A Ninth Grade Student Drinks Excessively With His Pals, Experiences An Alcohol Overdose, And Discovers That Learning Something In Class Can Change Your Life
Andy was a ninth grader who regularly seemed to be living on the edge. Andy had a risk taking personality and as a rule wanted to do what his older brothers were doing to have fun. The main difficulty with this was that all three of his brothers were at least 21 years old and were thus able from a legal standpoint to drive a car and to ingest alcohol.
Andy, then again, had a rough time comprehending the fact that as a fifteen-year-old person he should not be drinking. In fact, nevertheless, Andy normally drank with his buddies after school, particularly on the weekends.
One weekend, Andy made up his mind to drive around with some of his older guy friends. One of his pals was old enough to buy alcohol. After purchasing some wine, beer, and wine coolers, Andy and his buddies went to a public recreational area and drank for around two hours.
After drinking something like nine wine coolers, Andy started to feel queasy and then vomited. When he passed out on the soccer field, one of his drinking friends called 911 for assistance. It was fortunate that the call for medical help was made because when his pals went to the hospital to see Andy, they were notified that Andy had been going through alcohol poisoning symptoms. In short, Andy had experienced an alcohol overdose.
After receiving alcohol poisoning treatment, Andy was frankly surprised to discover that he had overdosed on alcohol because he "only" had roughly five or ten alcoholic beverages. When he stated this to the attending doctor at the hospital, however, the physician informed Andy that drinking five or ten wine coolers over a two or three hour period of time could in reality be quite a bit more alcohol than can be metabolized by the body. The healthcare professional further emphasized how too much alcohol can cause the brain to shut down a person's respiratory system and that when this transpires, a person can expire.
This was the first cautionary message to Andy that he was drinking in a risky fashion and that there are ramifications for such behavior. The physician told Andy that he was a lucky individual because he almost died from an alcohol overdose the previous night.
The healthcare professional also had a word with Andy's parents and suggested that they get alcohol treatment for Andy. His parents were relieved that Andy was all right and informed the healthcare professional that they would follow through on getting Andy alcohol therapy.
While speaking to his parents, Andy notified them that there must be a special reason why he did not pass away and that he felt a sense of thankfulness that he was still alive. He also told his parents that the peculiar part about the entire drinking event was that he had learned about alcohol poisoning the past week at school.
At the time, what his health instructor, Mr. Johnson, was articulating didn't seem to make a lot of sense to Andy. Due to the fact that he almost died, on the other hand, he felt that he should have listened more carefully in Mr. Johnson's health class and applied what he had learned to his personal life.
Andy told his parents that he couldn't wait to go to Mr. Johnson's classroom and make an apology to Mr. Johnson for not demonstrating more attention to a subject that was as important as learning about alcohol poisoning.
