What Causes Loss Of Consciousness And Foaming At Mouth After Heavy Drinking?
A college co-ed was participating in an all late night, end of the summer event where she danced, participated in several beer bongs and tequila shots in a crowded frat house. Due to the heat of the party and thinking she could fend off a hang-over the student consumed large amounts of water. She and her roommate stumbled their way back to the dorms. The next morning, however, she was found unresponsive and foaming at the mouth (no seizures were reported). How can this happen and what can be the cause of this

cannot say in your particular case, but all the possibilities are bad.
Seizures would be the classic, obvious choice.
but also just severe loss of consciousness. typically this is how people are found dead after a narcotics overdose.
