Factors That Influence Alcohol Use Despite the many problems associated with alcohol use, many teenagers still choose to drink. Why? Several reasons influence teens in their choice to use—or not use—alcohol: 1.Peer Pressure 1.It’s normal for you all to want to feel accepted within a group. The desire to “fit in” is strong. Teens who choose friends who avoid alcohol use are more likely to be alcohol free than teens whose friends accept alcohol use.

Factors That Influence Alcohol Use 2.Family –Family members can help teens be alcohol free. Parents who discourage and avoid the use of alcohol are more likely to have teens who do the same. In fact, teens cite parental disapproval as the number one reason for not using alcohol. –ADULTS ARE THE MOST COMMON SOURCE OF ALCOHOL FOR TEENS, ACCORDING TO POLL OF TEENS –Polls show teenagers, especially girls, obtain alcohol easily from friends and family

Factors That Influence Alcohol Use 3.Media Messages TV, radio, and certain movies make alcohol use appear exciting, attractive, and fun. The messages of many ads is “To fit in, drink alcohol.” At almost every professional sporting event there are several alcohol advertisements.

Take a look at the following slides and try to determine who is the target audience or what’s the message?

Choose to Avoid Alcohol: Choose to Avoid Unsafe Situations

Alcohol, Violence, and Sexual Activity Teens who drink alcohol are more likely to be victims or perpetrators of violent crimes such as rape, aggravated assault, and robbery. Teens who use alcohol are more likely to become sexually active at earlier ages, to engage in in sexual activity more often, and to engage in unprotected sex more often than teens who don’t use alcohol. Such careless activity can lead to unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and emotional scars that don’t heal easily.

Avoid Alcohol: Avoid Unsafe Situations 3.Alcohol Abuse Most young people do not live in families in which alcohol use is a problem. However, it is estimated that 25 percent of all youth are exposed to family alcohol abuse—the excessive use of alcohol—at some time before they reach the age of 18. Young people who live in a household in which a family member abuses alcohol are at high risk for neglect, abuse, economic hardship, and social isolation.

Quick Review True or False If you are under 21, it is illegal to buy, possess, or consume alcohol Most young people live in families in which alcohol use is a problem Teens who use alcohol are more likely to engage in unprotected sex more often than teens who don’t use alcohol ADULTS THE ARE MOST COMMON SOURCE OF ALCOHOL FOR TEENS, ACCORDING TO POLL OF TEENS Teens who drink alcohol are more likely to be victims or perpetrators of violent crimes such as rape, aggravated assault, and robbery

What percentage of the public is "alcoholic"? It is generally believed that 2/3 of the nation's population drink alcohol (others are abstainers, recovered alcoholics, infants, etc.). Of those who drink, one in 10 will become alcohol- dependent. This works out to about 5% of the population, or about 14 million people. (April 15, 2011)

What Causes a Hangover? This withdrawal is a state of hyper excitability caused by the body's systems trying to get back to normal. Thus, the heavy drinker experiences headache, upset stomach, early morning awakening, and rapid heart rate.

What brain areas are affected by high alcohol consumption? While the most noticeable and understandable effects are on the "memory center" (hippocampus) of the brain, other areas such as the cerebellum (muscle coordination center) are also negatively affected. (February 23, 2011)

Effects of Alcohol on Vision The Effects of Alcohol on Vision When the legal blood-alcohol level is reached and surpassed (above.08 in Illinois), depth perception and night vision are affected. It becomes impossible to accurately judge how far away objects are when depth perception deteriorates. Vision becomes blurred or you may see double since eye muscles lose their precision causing them to be unable to focus on the same object.

The Effects of Alcohol on Vision Alcohol affects night vision by keeping the pupils from adapting from darkness to light. The oncoming headlights of a car will cause a drunk driver to be dazed much more severely than a sober driver. Alcohol consumption also produces tunnel vision and can make night blindness worse

What’s the # 1 Killer of Teenagers? Car accidents usually related to drinking and driving
