Acute alcohol poisoning in childhood is second among all exogenous poisonings. From 2007 to 2019, the Department of toxicology of the Filatov state clinical hospital received 3,674 patients with acute alcohol poisoning. The article analyzes clinical and laboratory data in patients with acute alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning is most common in children over 15 years of age, and according to the results of chemical and Toxicological studies, the concentration of ethanol in the blood of children varies from 0.8 to 5.4 g/l. The severity of clinical manifestations of alcohol intoxication does not always directly correlate with the content of ethyl alcohol in the blood.
