1. Acute alcoholic intoxication (peptic ulcer) vs CLD induced variceal bleed
2. Confusion attributes to HE

Treatment based on ABG to know Hb and acidosis with RT insertion for aspiration
Urine for toxicology for any other drugs ingestion
Always check pupils and rule out for any central cause of head by CT, if needed

Start management by I/V fluids and tranexamic acid with terlipressin or octreotide if suspecting CLD
Start PPI infusion, Vitamin K, and broad spectrum antibiotics
