Question

which of the following is not a symptom of alcohol poisoning?
a. high body temperature
b. vomiting
c. irregular heartbeat
d. severe dehydration

Explanation:

1. Vomiting is a common symptom as the body tries to expel excess alcohol, and it also contributes to dehydration.
2. Irregular heartbeat occurs because alcohol depresses the central nervous system and disrupts cardiac function during alcohol poisoning.
3. Severe dehydration is typical due to vomiting, increased urination from alcohol's diuretic effects, and suppressed thirst response.
4. Alcohol poisoning causes low body temperature (hypothermia) as alcohol dilates blood vessels and impairs the body's ability to regulate temperature, so high body temperature is not a symptom of alcohol poisoning.

Answer:

A. high body temperature
