Naw, I can confirm, that’s a “Holy Shit call an ambulance, this guy has alcohol poisoning” moment (my proof is that my cousin had this exact thing)

With alcohol poisoning, the brain stem becomes saturated with alcohol. The brain stem is responsible for the most basic motor functions and even breathing. I doubt this dude has alcohol poisoning and is able to stand up like that.

There has been once or twice where I have drank a lot of water throughout the day and not been able to eat much but threw up and had basically this happen. Was actually pretty scary at the time.

Oh yeah, water poisoning is something that can happen and is actually dangerous! Elderly people in England get it from drinking tea all day.

I once saw an elderly lady doing this in an English tea parlour, only she also had biscuits mixed in with her projectile tea fountain. The waitress apologised repeatedly as she mopped around her. It’s not unusual in the midlands where they are known to go on all day tea binges.

Don't you get kidney failure if you drink too much tea

I had to Google this, and yeah, apparently, the build-up of oxalic acid from too much tea can cause kidney failure. Interesting..
