Hello,
Thanks for putting your query on HCM.
It seems your son drank to fast and too much of alcohol.This causes pyloric sphincter in stomach to close which leads to passing out.This is protective action of body to show that it cant take any further alcohol.Since he passed out he would be dehydrated and alcohol anyways causes lot of dehydration due to diuresis so hes feeling numb and weak.Ideally he should be avoiding to drink alcohol but if he has to he should make sure he goes slow and well in limits.For now he can overcome numbness by taking lots of fluids and good nutritional food.
Hope I could solve your query.If you have further query please feel free to ask.
