  11. Alcohol Profiles Types of Drinkers

  12. Profiles of Drinkers • Five Patterns of Drinkers • Non- Drinking Pattern • Social • Episodic Excessive • Progressive Excessive • Chronic Alcoholic

  18. How Alcohol Works Absorption

  19. Absorption • Once an alcoholic beverage is swallowed and passed to the stomach, the process of absorption begins • Alcohol requires no digestion and passes readily through the walls of the gastrointestinal track

  20. Absorption • One - fifth of the total alcohol consumed is absorbed in the stomach • The major site of absorption is the small intestines

  21. Factors that Influence AlcoholAbsorption

  22. Concentration of Alcohol • The greater the concentration, higher the proof, the greater the absorption rate.

  23. Amount of Alcohol • The more the alcohol consumed at one time, the longer the absorption period will be.

  24. Rate of Consumption • Rapid consumption will result in a elevated Blood Alcohol Concentration

  25. Amount of Food in Stomach • The presence of food in the stomach delays the absorption of alcohol (i.e. dairy products, food high in protein)

  26. Body Weight • Heavier people have more body fluids in which alcohol is diluted

  27. Body Chemistry/Emotions • Alcohol effects each individual differently

  28. History • The phenomenon of “tolerance” may be so well established that more alcohol is required to produce a “high” than in infrequent users.
