If you survive an episode of alcohol poisoning with no permanent damage, you will not necessarily need to make any lifestyle changes for medical reasons. However, you should evaluate why the overdose happened. For example, did you experience peer pressure to binge drink, or do you have an inability to control your alcohol consumption? You can gather information from other people who were present when you were drinking to get a clearer picture of your behavior at the time. If you have difficulty controlling your drinking, consider follow-up care. This can include appointments with a counselor or social worker, or a visit to a rehabilitation facility. Through this sort of care, you can work to identify the factors that lead to the binge drinking and make the necessary changes to prevent further issues with alcohol in the future.
