Y90: Evidence of alcohol involvement determined by blood alcohol level

Y90.4: Blood alcohol level of 80-99 mg/100 ml

The condition identified as having a blood alcohol level of 80-99 mg/100 ml indicates that there is a significant presence of alcohol in an individual's bloodstream. This level is typically reached after consuming excessive amounts of alcohol. When alcohol is consumed, it is rapidly absorbed into the blood and spreads throughout the body. It then affects the nervous system, brain and other bodily functions. Common symptoms at this level of intoxication may include issues with balance, blurred vision, slowed reflexes, and even lack of awareness of surroundings. In some cases, individuals might even experience blackout or memory loss. It's critical to understand that the body can only metabolize a certain amount of alcohol per hour. Exceeding this limit and maintaining such a high blood alcohol level can lead to severe, life-threatening conditions including alcohol poisoning. Always remember, the effects of alcohol can differ from person to person based on a range of factors such as age, gender, weight and overall health condition.
