    Did I have alcohol poisoning?
    A while ago I went a little overboard with drinking
    I was pretty much anorexic and the most I'd eat a day would be like a piece of fruit or soemthing
    And drink coffee or w/e (I'm not anymore I was extremely unhealthy)
    I always suffered from lack of sleep so one night I drank 3-4 cups of coffee on an empty stomach and then like 3 hours later met up with someone and drank A LOT of vodka...
    I went home feeling extremely sick and started convulsing, I was curled up in a ball and convulsing to the point where I couldn't even move I was shaking so bad...
    I got no sleep at all, I figured I should have thrown up but I hadn't eaten anything
    I was talking with a friend today and they ssaid it sounded like I had really bad alcohol poisoning and that they were surprised I wasn't in a coma or dead after that
    Do you think it was that serious? I thought it was a mixture of the empty stomach and coffee and vodka, but I did drink a lot. Your thoughts?
