  10. Vocab Alcohol- Fermentation- Distillation- Proof- % of alcohol- What are the 3 types of alcohol?

  11. 1 Drink(1/2 oz of pure ethanol- active ingredient) • One 12 oz can of beer (4.5% alcohol) • 1 ¼ oz of 80 proof hard liquor (distilled) (40% alcohol) • Proof: amount of alcohol in a beverage as measured by %, double the % of alcohol • Ex/ Beverage with 20% alcohol is 40 proof (page 411) • 1 oz of 100 proof liquor ( 1 shot) • 3-5 oz of wine (12-14% alcohol) • 1 wine cooler (1.5-6 % alcohol) • Non-alcoholic Beer- contains some alcohol (less than 1%)

  12. Alcohol & the Body • About 20% of alcohol consumed is absorbed into bloodstream through stomach walls. • The majority is absorbed through intestine walls. • The remaining alcohol is excreted through urine, perspiration, or breath.

  13. How Alcohol Affects the Body • Nervous system- Brain- is being deprived of oxygen • Impairs senses, vision, hearing • Impaired motor skills, reaction time, judgment • Mood & personality changes • Hallucinations • Violent & angry behavior

  14. Nervous System/ Terms • Blackouts (a period in which a person cannot remember what has happened) Type of amnesia • Seizures- • Dementia (decline in all areas of mental functioning)

  15. Digestive system • Developing cancers of mouth, esophagus, & stomach • Ulcers, open sore-irritation from the toxins in alcohol • Malnutrition-drinking interferes with absorption of nutrients • Liver disease (cirrhosis) • Stage I- fatty deposits on the liver • Stage II- Alcohol Hepatitis, liver swells, abdominal pain, fever, yellowing of skin • Stage III- Cirrhosis/Hardening of liver (NO CURE)

  16. Immune & Respiratory Systems • Increased risk of developing illnesses *** Alcohol decreases the amount of infection fighting cells -you get sick a lot quicker and can not recover as quickly. • Respiration infections • Tuberculosis- lung infection • Cancers can occur much quicker

  17. Affects on Body • Cardiovascular system • Damages heart & blood vessels • Alcohol is high in FAT & SUGAR causing the arteries to become clogged with fatty tissue, increasing amount of force to push blood through the vessels. • Increased risk for cardiovascular disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attack & stroke.

  18. Skeletal System/ Muscular System Alcohol causes the bones to lose calcium and takes nutrients out of the body. Bones become thin & brittle and can lead to Osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become thin & brittle. This also causes injuries for frequently. Muscles- tissue starts to deteriorate.

  19. Urinary System Alcohol causes an increase in urine flow. Heavy & chronic drinking can cause the kidneys to shut down. Kidneys- an organ that filters the blood & excretes waste products. Pancreas- releases hormones to regulate blood sugar. Alcohol use can lead to diabetes if the pancreas fails to produce hormones that regulate blood sugar.

  20. Reproductive System- puberty Females -delay the menstrual cycle, or cause an irregular cycle. - reduce fertility - risk of breast cancer - early onset of menopause

  21. Males - effect size of reproductive organs - reduce fertility, reduce sperm count & movement of sperm - decrease muscle mass - impaired sexual performance (impotence- males can’t get an erection)

  22. Gastrointestinal System • Alcohol causes the stomach lining to become inflamed & irritated. • Inflammation of the esophagus • Diarrhea & vomiting • Cancer of the intestines & colon • Inflammation/irritation of the intestines • Increases secretion of stomach acids

  23. Alcohol Affects Every Cell in the Body • Most alcohol is changed to harmless waste by the liver • A Healthy Liver can only process about 1 drink/ hour • If drink more then this the excess alcohol build up in the body • Alcohol goes to body tissue before excretion • Effects of alcohol intensify • Concentration of alcohol in blood increases

  24. Hangover- a result of the chemicals used to make alcohol. • The only true treatment for a hangover is time! • When treating hangover symptoms, you should not use Tylenol, because it can cause permanent liver damage. • One of the worst things you can do for a person is give them another alcoholic beverage.

  25. Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) • Higher the BAC, the greater the effects of alcohol on the body. • If the amount of alcohol (a toxin) is too large, stomach will reject it • Vomiting • Too much of a toxin (alcohol) can be poisonous. BAC is a percentage of alcohol in the bloodstream.

  26. What Happens as BAC Increases .02- .08-.10- .20- .40- BAC effects BAC Chart

  27. Amount consumed Body weight Feelings Amount of food eaten Carbonation of beverage Speed consumed % of body fat Gender Presence of other drugs in blood Age Factors that affect BAC

  28. WEIGHT vs. BODY FAT BODY FAT DOES NOT ABSORB AS MUCH ALCOHOL AS MUSCLE DOES • Luke 220lbs. 15% body fat Brett 220lbs. 30% body fat • Matt 150lbs. 25% body fat Brian 115lbs. 25% body fat
