AB Ethanol  overdose  in  children  may  result  in  hypoglycemia.Methanol  ingestion  is  associated  with  visual  disturbance,  metabolic  acidosis,  and  possibly  multi-organ  system  failure.Ethylene  glycol  poisoning  is  associated  with  metabolic  acidosis,  renal  failure,  and  possibly  multi-organ  system  failure.Isopropanol  may  cause  CNS  depression  but  does  not  usually  cause  metabolic  acidosis.All  of  the  toxic  alcohols  can  produce  an  osmol  gap.Fomepizole  is  the  only  FDA-approved  antidote  for  ethylene  glycol  and  methanol  toxicity.Hemodialysis  is  indicated  in  severe  toxic  alcohol  ingestions  not  responsive  to  conventional  medical  therapy,  or  with  evidence  of  end-organ  damage  or  severe  acidosis.
