22. Drinking is a Personal Choice but Who Else is Affected? / Friends and family / Strangers  Unborn babies – Fetal alcohol syndrome / Friends and family / Strangers  Unborn babies – Fetal alcohol syndrome

23. Blood Alcohol Level: What ’ s It All About? (6) Blood alcohol level (BAL) depends on: / Weight / Amount of food and water in stomach / Carbonated alcoholic beverages / Gender Blood alcohol level (BAL) depends on: / Weight / Amount of food and water in stomach / Carbonated alcoholic beverages / Gender

24. Blood Alcohol Level Calculations (7) BAL = (150/body weight) x (%alcohol/50) x (ounces consumed) x (0.025) BAL = (150/body weight) x (%alcohol/50) x (ounces consumed) x (0.025)

25. Blood Alcohol Level Example / 175 pound man drinks four 12-ounce cans of beer with 4% alcohol content / BAL = (150/175) x (4/50) x (48) x (0.025) / =.86 x.08 x 48 x.025 / =.08% / 175 pound man drinks four 12-ounce cans of beer with 4% alcohol content / BAL = (150/175) x (4/50) x (48) x (0.025) / =.86 x.08 x 48 x.025 / =.08%

26. Blood Alcohol Levels: So What? (8) / BAL = 0.03 to 0.12 (Euphoria) / Self-confident/daring / Short attention span / Poor judgment / Fine motor skills impaired / BAL = 0.03 to 0.12 (Euphoria) / Self-confident/daring / Short attention span / Poor judgment / Fine motor skills impaired

27. Blood Alcohol Levels (8) / BAL = 0.09 to 0.25 (Sleepy & Slow) / Sleepy / Memory loss / Reaction time decreased / Uncoordinated/loss of balance / Blurry vision and impaired senses / BAL = 0.09 to 0.25 (Sleepy & Slow) / Sleepy / Memory loss / Reaction time decreased / Uncoordinated/loss of balance / Blurry vision and impaired senses

28. Blood Alcohol Levels (8) / BAL = 0.18 to 0.30 (Confusion) / Confused/dizzy / Highly emotional / Cannot see/slurred speech / Uncoordinated/sleepy / May not feel pain as easily / BAL = 0.18 to 0.30 (Confusion) / Confused/dizzy / Highly emotional / Cannot see/slurred speech / Uncoordinated/sleepy / May not feel pain as easily

29. Blood Alcohol Levels (8) / BAL = 0.25 to 0.40 (Stupor) / Can barely move at all / Cannot respond to stimuli / Cannot stand or walk / Vomiting / Lapse in and out of consciousness / BAL = 0.25 to 0.40 (Stupor) / Can barely move at all / Cannot respond to stimuli / Cannot stand or walk / Vomiting / Lapse in and out of consciousness

30. Blood Alcohol Levels (8) / BAL = 0.35 to 0.50 (Coma) / Unconscious / Reflexes depressed / Decreased body temperature / Decreased breathing rate / Decreased heart rate / Could die / BAL = 0.35 to 0.50 (Coma) / Unconscious / Reflexes depressed / Decreased body temperature / Decreased breathing rate / Decreased heart rate / Could die

33. Key terms / Tolerance – a condition in which the body becomes used to a substance and needs greater quantities to produce the same effect

34. Key terms / Alcoholism – a disease in which a person is dependent upon alcohol.

35. Blood Alcohol Levels (8) / BAL = Greater than 0.50 (Death) / Breathing stops / That says it all! / BAL = Greater than 0.50 (Death) / Breathing stops / That says it all!

36. Driving Limits (6) / Most states set the legal level of intoxication at 0.08 to 0.10 / Most states set the legal level of intoxication at 0.08 to 0.10

37. What is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? / When mother drinks, baby drinks / Alcohol disrupts brain development / Your turn to research! / When mother drinks, baby drinks / Alcohol disrupts brain development / Your turn to research!

38. Looking Back / Drinking has various definitions / Binge and Chronic / Drinking can have short- and long-term effects / Slower reaction times / Memory loss / Nervous system/liver problems / Drinking has various definitions / Binge and Chronic / Drinking can have short- and long-term effects / Slower reaction times / Memory loss / Nervous system/liver problems

39. Looking Back (cont.) / Blood alcohol levels are affected by weight and gender / Drinking is a personal choice, but it can affect those around you / Blood alcohol levels are affected by weight and gender / Drinking is a personal choice, but it can affect those around you
