She sould call 911, and ask them to bring the paramedics.

Answer 2

Answer:

If he is unresponsive she should stay with him, observe for signs of alcohol poisoning and call 911 if signs are present.

Explanation:

Excessive alcohol consumption can cause the symptoms that Shanaya's boyfriend is showing. For this reason, she should watch for signs of poisoning and call 911 to seek professional help for her boyfriend.

Alcohol causes different effects on our body according to its concentration in the blood. Initially, alcohol acts as a stimulant, leaving the person more euphoric and uninhibited. But as doses increase, depressive effects begin to appear, leading to decreased motor coordination, reflexes, and drowsiness and poisoning, leading to death. Shanaya's boyfriend may be experiencing heavy alcohol intoxication and so doesn't respond to any of her attempts to wake him up. This is a very worrying case, so Shanaya should seek medical help by calling 911.
