Izhevskaya told why you can not pour water on a drunken person

Residents of Izhevsk explained that dousing a drunk person with cold water does not lead to sobering and can threaten life. This procedure only briefly cheers up, but alcohol is not excreted from the body.

A sharp narrowing of blood vessels can cause an increase in pressure and a violation of the heart rhythm. In diseases of the heart and blood vessels, this can result in a heart attack or stroke.

It is impossible to accelerate the processing of alcohol by the liver, so a person should be laid with his head raised and given a warm drink. In case of loss of consciousness, lack of response to pain, respiratory failures or pallor, doctors should be urgently called.
