Attention!
The consumption of drugs causes irreparable damage to health and is life-threatening!
Binge - long-term (over a day) consumption of alcohol, which is accompanied by significant intoxication. This phenomenon is typical of people with alcohol addiction. The amount of alcohol consumed in such phases does not have to be excreted, the decomposition products of the alcohol poison the body. A prolonged weekly binge eating is often accompanied by depressive states.
What is the difference between pseudo-binge and usual?
The high begins with a psychological and physical craving for alcohol. Prolonged alcohol consumption can also occur under the influence of external factors - vacation, salary payments, a tragic event. Doctors call this phenomenon pseudo-drinking.
Pseudo-binge usually lasts 7-10 days and ends the same way it started - under the influence of social change. However, the damage alcohol does to the body does not allow you to quickly get out of a weekly high. It takes time and certain measures to restore vital functions.
How to Get Out of a 7 Day Binge
A short binge (4-5 days) can be defeated at home. It is important to cleanse the body of alcohol breakdown products.
- You should drink as much water as possible - at least one and a half liters. Vomiting and diarrhea are natural manifestations of the detoxification process. In such situations it is necessary to replenish the fluid lost.
- If you've been drinking for 5 days, increasing your dose of vitamin C will help manage the effects of alcohol poisoning. It is recommended to take five times the daily dose (400-450 mg). You can add foods rich in ascorbic acid (lemon, kiwi, strawberry, cabbage) to your diet.
- Use sorbents from the pharmacy. Activated charcoal should be taken in the amount of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight. You can drink tablets based on charcoal, silicone, or enterosorbents.
- 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 slower reactions and drowsiness.
- In the next three days after a five-day binge eating, fatty and fried foods should be excluded from the menu. A damaged liver will not be able to process these foods. Add cooked vegetables, rice and buckwheat to the menu.
Deadly dangerous!
The worst consequence is irreversible mental decline.
What to do with long-term binge
Binge drinking for a week or more is dangerous to a person in many ways. Often times, after the alcoholic has spent all the money on alcohol, he begins to consume questionable drinks. As they say, the course includes "everything that burns". The risk of poisoning with unknown chemicals increases significantly.
Ultimately, the body stops consuming alcohol and other foods. During this time, the alcoholic experiences vomiting, high blood pressure, and tachycardia. The victim practically does not sleep, but with vivid visions falls into alcoholic faint.
It is at this turning point that drunks are drawn to seek help.
Inpatient treatment
The best way to get out of a two week high is to go to the clinic. An individual treatment plan is prescribed by the doctor after the patient has been examined. It is important to take into account the general condition of the body, the presence of chronic diseases and the degree of alcohol intoxication. Droppers are the most effective cleaning method. The solution allows you to wash traces of poisoning from the blood. The necessary drugs are administered intravenously.
Strong sedatives are used. The purpose of using sedatives is to normalize the mental state, stop panic attacks, and restore sleep. The dosage and the intake schedule are determined exclusively by the attending physician.
General strengthening therapy is aimed at restoring the functions of the liver, gastrointestinal tract and immunity. Based on the condition of the body, a regimen with vitamins, hepatoprotectors, etc. is prescribed. Rest and less physical activity have a positive effect on recovery. Inpatient treatment lasts three to seven days.
Home visit
In order to avoid advertising and not be registered with drug addiction, many alcoholics prefer to call the brigade at home. The detox methods in this case are the same. It is necessary to purify the blood with a pipette in order to restore the general condition of the body.
To beat a two-week binge at home, only turn to trusted specialists. Often, the intervention of unskilled personnel leads to a worsening of the condition. Pseudo-medics, whose services are paid at an inflated price, often leave no information about the drugs administered to the victim. Therefore, there is a high risk of getting into the intensive care unit.
Conclusion from heavy drinking through dose reduction
If, for whatever reason, qualified medical care is not available, there is no other option than to get out of the intoxication on your own.
It is necessary to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed to 20-30 grams and increase the interval between doses. Experts advise using high-quality vodka. You definitely need a snack. Usually at this point the alcoholic's body does not accept fatty foods, you can limit yourself to vegetables. Vegetable purees like potatoes work well. It is important not to let the station drink alcoholic beverages.
It should continue until the alcoholic begins to feel drowsy. Do not resume alcohol consumption after sleeping. For the next 2-3 days, you need to take care of the restoration of the body in order to restore sleep and strengthen the nervous system. Use valerian, a sedative, for this. Some people use nootropics - even an ordinary mild sedative, many of which are available in the public domain, will do. Available pharmaceutical preparations will help restore the liver.
Is it possible to get out of the binge abruptly?
The method of abrupt refusal to drink alcohol in severe poisoning remains controversial. Doctors talk about the load on the body in this case. The presence of chronic diseases and diseases in the exacerbation stage excludes this method.
The first effects of this method can be felt within a few hours after giving up the alcohol. The remains of alcohol in the blood disintegrate, and breakdowns, repeated vomiting begin. At this point there was nothing left in the alcoholic's stomach, the vomit was a mixture of bile and gastric juice (a translucent liquid from yellow to swampy green). For improved stomach cleansing, it is necessary to drink up to one and a half liters of boiled water.
A person begins to shiver and dizziness, coordination is impaired. At such moments, running is almost impossible. He's having a hard time getting to the bathroom at all. It is not recommended to lie in this state, it is better to choose a sitting position.
After 3-4 hours of agony there is a slight relief. You can drink water, cool unsweetened tea. You should not take with you fragile dishes, it is better to use metal or plastic devices, it is recommended to drink through a straw.
Once the vomiting subsides, you will need to take a sorbent. Popular drugs include activated charcoal and others. One of the remedies available is 1/2 spoonful of baking soda. The powder should be washed off with water or tea. After that, do not take any medication for 1. 5-2 hours.
The first day after abrupt alcohol withdrawal, weakness, nausea, and tremors persist. The mental state gradually improves. Vivid manifestations of emotions can be observed: laughter, tears. Sleep does not usually take place.
The second day you can eat, put yourself in order. Little physical activity is advisable. You should be on a diet for a week - switch to high-fiber vegetables and dairy products. It is important to maintain the central nervous system: take sedatives, try to normalize sleep.
