Alcohol poisoning is something that can result in brain damage and/or death. It also affects the people around you because they are the ones who are left trying to pick up the pieces. However, a story coming out of Russia shows another devastating way that binge drinking and alcohol poisoning doesn’t affect just you. Thanks to one of our readers who forwarded us this story.
A mother has been sentenced to three and a half year in jail for killing her baby. How did she do this? By breastfeeding him. According to RiaNovosti, Maria Shnip was binge drinking on a liter of port, and that her blood alcohol content (BAC) level was between 2-2.5 percent. The baby’s level was .4. To understand how much this woman had drank, eight Gin and Tonics for a 140-pound person is equivalent to .26 BAC.
Think of the consequences of your actions. You don’t want this to ever be you.
