Alcohol is toxic to dogs, and signs of alcohol toxicity include drooling, retching, vomiting or attempting to vomit, weakness, elevated heart rate, a distended stomach, collapse, coma hypothermia and in severe intoxication cases, death. Alcohol enters the blood stream very quickly, and once it is in the blood stream the only thing you can do is wait it out, ie wait until it is out of his system. Keep Loki confined if you think he drank beer, and watch him closely. If he shows any of the signs above or if he gets white mucus membranes, he needs to be taken to a pet ER. If you live close to a pet ER, you can take him there and the vets can make him vomit and thus get rid of the rest of the beer still in the stomach, and they may give activated charcoal to neutralise the alcohol in the stomach. Best of luck!
