The hospital won't turn away anyone that needs medical attention. Your BAC may be dangerously high at this point.
I would suggest calling an ambulance and let the professionals make the assessment. They have sections of the hospital available for emergencies.
Please stop drinking and get some help, Jeff.

Re: I come in peace, and very humble.
Hi Jeff
Man, I really hope you'd have been done by now.
I think the others here are right - you need the ER now.
There's no ER department I know of that would turn anyone who needed help away, even now in the time of COVID 19.
where's your wife Jeff?

Re: I come in peace, and very humble.
I agree with the others. There's no way a hospital can turn you away when you've consumed such an enormous amount of booze. Double this for someone with a death wish, which it seems you may have right now. I also know (because I asked for a different reason) that there are detox and rehab facilities that are still accepting patients.
I took the help a few months ago and am more glad than I can tell you that I did.
Please do the same?

Re: I come in peace, and very humble.
Jeffs been quoting Guns and Roses, guys. If that is indicative of some dark suicidal mood Jeff - it's all the more reason to ring for that ambulance bro.

Re: I come in peace, and very humble.
Thanks Dee. I assumed as much, but the choice of lyrics is concerning nonetheless. To me.
And anyhow, that's what a psych nurse who worked at the hospital I went to advised to ensure I would get treatment. Present at the emergency room and tell them you are feeling suicidal. I didn't say that - I told them the truth, that I didn't care if I lived anymore. I was admitted fairly quickly.
Jeff, will you go?

Just to put everyone at ease, I am not going to kill myself. I've had very dark thoughts throughout my life. I am a disturbed individual. not much more I can add to that.

Re: I come in peace, and very humble.
I do hope that this time the humility lasts beyond this bender.
Lasts long enough for you to listen to the folks here who have been encouraging you to do more than just not drink. Like getting into a program etc.
Unfortunately what usually happens is that after a few days sober, the "I got this" mindset reasserts itself and any and all advice is dismissed.
I was just like that for years myself, so I can't really talk but I do know that there comes a time when you have to be humble enough to acknowledge you can't get it done yourself and need help.

Re: I come in peace, and very humble.
Going back to what Dee said, I can not listen to music, of any kind. Its pushes me over the edge badly. Just not a good look. I have to hang in there until 7:40AM tomorrow and a doctor will be calling me.

Re: I come in peace, and very humble.
That's too subjective to answer Jeff - compared to what? the rest of us?
I had some pretty wild and dark thoughts when I was on a bender - I'm guessing you have the same.
If you're asking are you beyond help? No. Definitely not.
At the risk of stating the obvious, you need a better plan than drinking til 740 am tomorrow tho.

Leave it to Dee to give the unvarnished truth. You're right Dee. I'm a mess right now.
