The #1 way to avoid alcohol poisoning is to not drink it. Alcohol is poison. Also, there should have been much more emphasis put on avoiding alcohol while on medications. I have multiple sclerosis and alcohol not only makes my symptoms worse, the majority of my medications have alcohol-related warnings.
While 'alcoholism' may be acceptable by society, especially in Republican dominant area's, having been the child of an alcoholic mother was anything but pleasant. I don't want to read about how to avoid alcohol poisoning. I want prohibition on alcohol.
