Take Home Points

• Suspect a toxic alcohol in any patient with a large osmol gap or a large anion gap metabolic acidosis and consider treating these patients empirically.

• Fomepizole is the critical antidote for toxic alcohol ingestions but, patients are likely going to require dialysis as well.

• Call your local poison control center if you suspect a toxic alcohol ingestion to help guide management.
