Grüttner J et al. – The present data indicate a low clinical risk of alcohol intoxication and suggest that outpatient treatment is sufficient in the majority of cases. Nevertheless, a standardized diagnostic and therapeutic approach is essential in view of rare complications. Clinical monitoring should include repeated physical and especially neurological examination, toxicological blood tests, and radiological diagnostics. Discharge is possible provided that patients are awake, not disorientated and mobile.
