Answer

There's no specific antidote for ethanol poisoning. Treatment is supportive: maintaining airway, breathing, and circulation; IV fluids to prevent dehydration; monitoring vital signs; preventing aspiration if vomiting; and sometimes dialysis in severe cases. Time and the body's metabolism are the ultimate "cures."
