On the side with the head resting on one raised arm (the recovery position).
Rationale: this keeps the airway open and allows fluids/vomit to drain so the person doesn't choke or aspirate. If they are conscious and stable, keep them comfortable and seek medical help; if unconscious but breathing, place them in the recovery position and monitor vital signs.
