Is It Normal To Be Vomiting And To Have Lost Sight After Drinking Alcohol Excessively?

My 18 year old daughter thinks her drink may have been spiked last night. She had 4 alcoholic drinks but cant remember anything. She temporarily lost her sight and has been vomiting all night and feels very ill this morning. Should i take her to my gp. Thanks

Hi,

It is quite possible that her drink was spiked. But still I would suggest that you take her to a doctor. Any loss of vision, even though temporary, should not be neglected. Vomiting repeatedly may cause electrolyte imbalance as well. Please consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Best wishes.
