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:

Alcohol poisoning typically causes low body temperature (hypothermia) due to depressed central nervous system function that impairs temperature regulation. Vomiting, irregular heartbeat, and severe dehydration are all recognized symptoms of alcohol poisoning: vomiting is a common reaction to toxic alcohol levels, irregular heartbeat stems from cardiac function impairment, and dehydration results from increased urination and vomiting.

Answer:

A. high body temperature
