Is too much alcohol consumption causing Clintoon’s Health problems?

Alcohol is a poison!

It may not seem like it but alcohol is a poison and can sometimes have lethal consequences.

Your body can only process one unit of alcohol an hour. Drink a lot in a short space of time and the amount of alcohol in the blood can stop the body from working properly.

Is too much alcohol consumption causing Clintoon’s Health problems?

Alcohol is a poison!

It may not seem like it but alcohol is a poison and can sometimes have lethal consequences.

Your body can only process one unit of alcohol an hour. Drink a lot in a short space of time and the amount of alcohol in the blood can stop the body from working properly.

It can:
slow down your brain functions so you lose your sense of balance. ~

irritate the stomach which causes vomiting and it stops your gag reflex from working properly – you can choke on, or inhale, your own vomit into your lungs.
affect the nerves that control your breathing and heartbeat, stopping both.

dehydrate you, which can cause permanent brain damage. ~

lower the body’s temperature, which can lead to hypothermia.

lower your blood sugar levels, so you could have seizures. ~

Alcohol poisoning symptoms:

It can be a very fine line. One minute your house guest is stupidly drunk, the next they’ve become dangerously intoxicated.

Being aware of alcohol poisoning symptoms is crucial, because if a person you care about is suffering from acute alcohol poisoning, they will be in no state to help themselves.

Symptoms to look out for are:

Confusion ~
Loss of coordination ~
Vomiting
Seizures ~
Irregular or slow breathing (less than eight breaths a minute)
Blue-tinged or pale skin ~
Low body temperature (hypothermia)
Stupor – when someone’s conscious but unresponsive ~
Unconsciousness – passing out

An old friend once told me:
Wine is fine, but whiskey's quicker, suicide is slow with liquor.

I’m not going to argue with you about the affects of alcoholism; but, that stroke/concussion and the head injury from the fall, I believe are having real consequences for her health. Add in the alcohol and, is this a person we really want in the Oval Office?

Here’s the problem with a head-injured alcoholic running for President - she can’t hide as much and is compelled to be in front of people for hours at a time separated from her alcohol and on the verge of DTs, AND with all of this visible for the world to scrutinize. Her handlers can only cover so much.

.
During the primaries, as Trump rightly pointed out, she would campaign lightly then take several days off for R & R.

I can attest to that, my baby brother is an alky. He can now barely walk with the aid of a walker. He has developed Wernicke Korsakoff as all he does is drink Ever Clear all day long. Spent 17 days in the hospital as a result last year. He sends a cab after his booze that he pays for with Disability money. Not one suggestion by the med community he be committed to forced Rehab. My sister finds him passed out drunk all the time. Won’t bath or eat anything but junk food with his booze.
