Yes, dogs can get drunk. Dogs are much more sensitive to alcohol than humans and can become intoxicated quickly even from very small amounts. Alcohol affects their central nervous system, causing disorientation, lack of coordination, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive salivation, tremors, seizures, difficulty breathing, and even coma or death. Dogs metabolize alcohol poorly, and it can significantly harm their vital organs like the heart, liver, brain, kidneys, and pancreas. Even a small amount of alcohol can be dangerous, especially depending on the dog's size and weight. It is important never to give alcohol to dogs or let them access alcoholic drinks, and if a dog ingests alcohol accidentally, immediate veterinary care is crucial.
