Use PUBS to determine if any of the signs of alcohol overdose are present:
PUBS signs of alcohol overdose:
- Puking while passed out
- Unresponsive to pinching or shaking
- Breathing is noisy, slow, shallow, or has stopped
- Skin is blue, cold, or clammy. If a person has darker skin, check for pale lips or nail beds.
If you see even one PUBS sign, call 911 immediately.
If you're unsure, call the Poison Center (1-800-222-1222) for free, confidential medical advice 24/7.
Save a life. Make the call.
