If a person smells of alcohol, is unconscious, and cannot be roused, you must assume alcohol poisoning. To do otherwise is to take serious chances with that person's life. Turn them on their side to prevent them from inhaling vomit if they throw up, and then call the paramedics. If they stop breathing, begin support breathing. If there is no pulse, begin and continue CPR until the medics arrive, regardless of how long it takes.
