The term "intoxication" describes a state in which a person is under the influence of alcohol or other psychoactive substances. This results in altered consciousness, perception, thinking, and behavior. Intoxication can vary in intensity, from mild intoxication to unconsciousness.
In the context of alcohol, a distinction is made between different stages of intoxication, such as the euphoria phase, the speech-impairment phase, or the dizziness phase. Intoxication can also be accompanied by undesirable side effects such as nausea, vomiting, memory lapses, or aggression.
The consumption of alcohol and other psychoactive substances carries risks and dangers and can lead to serious physical and psychological harm. Therefore, it is important to use these substances responsibly and seek professional help if necessary. Driving while intoxicated can have serious consequences and lead to Medical-psychological examination (MPU).
