Actually, this is not drunkenness, but methanol poisoning.

Fake wine is made with industrial alcohol, which contains a large amount of methanol. The poisoning caused by drinking fake wine is because the wine contains methanol, which is essentially methanol poisoning.

What are the dangers of methanol in fake wine?

The biggest characteristic of methanol poisoning is blindness. Chronic inhalation poisoning can cause irritation of the eye mucosa and loss of vision. Symptoms of oral poisoning include headache, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.

After drinking fake wine containing methanol, symptoms usually do not occur immediately. Symptoms often appear after 6-9 hours, and most cases occur after 24 hours. The most typical symptoms are optic nerve damage, severe acidemia, renal failure, and central nervous system involvement. After timely rescue treatment, most of the symptoms can be recovered, but the optic nerve is damaged and the recovery is not optimistic, with 50% or complete blindness.

Therefore, after drinking alcohol, if the discomfort is serious, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately.
