16. Blood Alcohol Level: What ’ s It All About? 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

18. Blood Alcohol Level Calculations 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)

19. 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%

20. Blood Alcohol Levels: So What? / 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

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

22. Blood Alcohol Levels / 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

23. Blood Alcohol Levels / 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

24. Blood Alcohol Levels / 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

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