X65: Intentional self-poisoning by and exposure to alcohol

Intentional self-poisoning by and exposure to alcohol refers to a condition in which an individual deliberately consumes alcohol in quantities large enough to harm themselves either physically or mentally. This group of conditions encompasses a wide range of symptoms that can come about due to the negative effects of heavy alcohol consumption. These can include physical symptoms such as tremors, nausea, vomiting, seizures, impaired coordination, and unconsciousness. Mental and emotional symptoms can include confusion, agitation, hallucinations, and potential mood fluctuations, among others. Long-term or excessive alcohol consumption can also impact various body systems, leading to liver damage, heart problems, and brain damage. It's critical to note that these conditions can develop rapidly and may potentially be life-threatening, requiring immediate medical intervention.
