  2. Types of Alcohol • Beer-made by fermenting barley, corn, or rye. • Around 4% Alcohol • Malt Liquor is a higher % beer • Light beer has roughly same % alcohol but less calories. • Wine –made by fermenting grapes and other fruits • 12-14 % alcohol • Wine coolers are carbonated and contain much lower alcohol % • Liquor-made by distillation. • Whiskey, Bourbon, Rye, Rum, Vodka, Brandy, and Tequila • Most around 40 % alcohol • Measured by Proof which is double the alcohol %

  3. Alcohol in the Body • Alcohol enters the blood stream in minutes • About 20 percent through the stomach walls • Majority of it through the intestine walls • The rest excreted through urine, perspiration, or breath. • What happens to it? • Alcohol is changed to harmless waste by the liver • Liver can only process about one drink an hour • What is left builds up in the body • The more that is consumed the stronger the effects • Alcohol is measured by BAC. Blood Alcohol Concentration

  4. How much is a Drink? • One Half Ounce is considered a drink of alcohol. • 1 beer • 4-5 ounces of wine • 1 shot • 1 mixed drink

What is Alcohol? • Alcohol is a toxin • A toxin is a poisonous substance to the body • If too much is consumed the stomach rejects it causing the individual to vomit. • The body tries to break down alcohol as fast as it can • Why would someone be drunk the next day? • Does coffee, fresh air, showers help with intoxication level?

  6. BAC • Factors that effect Blood Alcohol Content • Amount of alcohol consumed • Number of drinks and strength • Speed it is consumed • Faster increases BAC • Can be dangerous • Body weight • Bigger body=more blood • Percentage of body fat • Lean body tissue is more absorbent • Gender • Females • Less stomach enzymes to break down alcohol in stomach to enter blood stream. • Less lean body tissue

  7. BAC • More Factors • Feelings • Stress, anger, and fear can speed up the time it takes alcohol to enter the bloodstream • Food eaten • If someone has alcohol on an empty stomach the alcohol enters the bloodstream much faster. • Other drugs in the system • Tranquilizers and painkillers can heighten the effects of alcohol. • Age • Elderly people are more sensitive to the effects of alcohol • Carbonation • Carbonated beverages pass through the bloodstream faster then non-carbonated beverages.

  9. What happens as BAC Increases? • 0.02-feel relaxed • 0.05-speech may slur, decreased coordination and reaction time. • .08-.1-Reasoning, judgment, self control, muscular coordination and reaction time are seriously slowed. • .12-confused and disoriented. May start to vomit. • .2-emotions are unpredictable and may change drastically. • .3- little or no control/most people can not stay awake during this time. • .4-likely to become unconscious. Breathing and heart rate slow. Death can occur. • .5-people may enter deep coma and die.

How Alcohol affects the Body • Nervous system • Impairs the brain and other parts of the nervous system, such as nerve cells. • May cause blackouts, seizures, and dementia • Digestive system • Ulcer open sore on the skin or on a mucus membrane. • Alcohol increases the secretion of stomach acids. • Liver disease-three stages • 1st stage- the liver becomes enlarged with fatty tissue. • 2nd stage- liver swells even more because of alcohol hepatitis. • Can cause serious illness or death • 3rd stage-can cause cirrhosis which is when there is chronic damage to liver cells. • Can cause liver failure or death. • Only way to treat advanced stages is to have a liver transplant • Reproductive system • During puberty it can • postpone menstruation for women • Decrease size of testes for men

  11. How Alcohol affects the Body • Immune system • Depresses the function of the immune system • Long term drinking lowers the number of infection fighting cells in the body. • Cardiovascular • May damage cardiovascular organs • Increased risk for • Cardiovascular disease • High blood pressure • Stroke • Skeletal System • Makes the body lose calcium • Long term? • Urinary system • Long term can increase kidney failure
