Mr. Gardner has been the health teacher in an all girls Catholic high school for the past seventeen years.  When he discusses the consequences of alcohol abuse, one of the things that he emphasizes is alcohol poisoning and how a person needs to respond to alcohol poisoning symptoms correctly by promptly calling 911 and asking for immediate medical assistance.  One year a student named Mandy asked why a person who is suffering from alcohol poisoning can’t simply go to bed and “sleep it off.”  Mr. Gardner told Mandy that she had asked a very insightful question and then he went on to say that letting a person who has alcohol poisoning sleep is one of the worst things that can be done because without prompt medical treatment, the person may never awaken.
