Additional Info
There is no set alcohol level at which to code a poisoning. This is a judgment call per Dr Garland. Levels alone do not define toxicity, especially if a patient has a chronic alcohol problem. Collectors should also look at the clinical signs and symptoms that the patient displays.--CMarks 15:20, 2016 August 25 (CDT)
