Drinking alcohol generally does not require gastric lavage treatment, and can be relieved quickly with symptomatic supportive treatment such as antidote medication, gastric protection and rehydration. Gastric lavage is only considered in cases of acute alcoholic encephalopathy causing coma, which is quite serious, unless there is a large amount of alcohol consumption. This situation requires hospitalization to observe the condition. The patient can be discharged from the hospital if he/she is clear and there are no complications. The duration of hospitalization is usually 3-5 days, and complications such as alcoholic liver disease, aspiration pneumonia, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc. must be treated aggressively. Serious cases may even need to be admitted to the intensive care unit for intensive treatment, so the length of hospitalization will be further prolonged until the above complications are observed and stabilized before being discharged. The general hospitalization time is 1-2 weeks.
