According to Medical Daily, there is a link between alcohol consumption and the amount of nitrous oxide - a natural gas that helps fight infections in the lungs.

2. Poisoning:
Alcohol poisoning comes from two types, one is from ethanol (food alcohol), the other is methanol using industrial alcohol. Notably, the number of patients with methanol poisoning tends to increase, the mortality rate and sequelae are very high (blindness, brain damage).
Most of the cases hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning are in critical condition, comatose, with cardiac arrest, no chance of survival, or if they are saved, they will be left with severe neurological sequelae.
In fact, according to doctors, not only are there patients with industrial alcohol poisoning, but there are also patients who are hospitalized due to alcohol abuse. Many people drink alcohol but do not eat, causing hypoglycemia. If hypoglycemia is severe, it can cause brain damage due to lack of energy.
