Lactic acidosis is a severe disorder of intermediary metabolism, which leads to a high mortality rate. It can occur in the context of extensive tissue ischemia, cardiocirculatory failure, septic shock or triggered by certain toxins (methanol, ethanol, etc.) and drugs (metformin and others).
Ethanol is a central nervous system depressant that causes a clinical picture characterized by euphoria, behavioral changes, loss of inhibition, ataxia, verbiage and, finally, stupor and coma, depending on the degree of intoxication can also present seizures.
