Complications
Complications include:
- hypoglycaemia - particularly important in young children, secondary to inhibition of gluconeogenesis, and typically occuring within six to thirty six hours of ingestion
- aspiration pneumonia
- hypothermia - alcohol reduces an individual's sensitivity to cold, and does not warm the body as popularly thought. In addition, collapse in a cold place can result in hypothermia.
