Which of the following is NOT listed as a sign of alcohol poisoning?

• A. mental confusion, stupor, coma, person cannot be roused, vomiting, slow or irregular breathing, hypothermia, bluish skin color, paleness
• B. vomiting
• C. fever
• D. hypothermia

Answer: (C)

Understanding signs of alcohol poisoning centers on how excessive alcohol depresses the brain and disrupts vital functions. True signs include mental confusion or stupor (or the person being unable to wake), vomiting, slow or irregular breathing, hypothermia (low body temperature), and pale or bluish skin. Fever does not arise from alcohol poisoning itself; it typically signals another illness or infection rather than the toxic effects of alcohol. So fever is not a listed sign of alcohol poisoning, which is why it’s the correct choice for the option that doesn’t fit. If you suspect alcohol poisoning, seek emergency help immediately and ensure the person’s airway is open and breathing.
