ALCOHOL BASICS (cont)
Slide8If the B
.A.C. gets high enough, alcohol can ANESTHETIZE the vital function centers of the brain, slowing or even
stopping breathing and heart beatALCOHOL BASICS (cont)
Slide9Alcohol effects every system and organ in the body
Alcohol is directly absorbed into the

Slide10ONE DRINK
=12 oz. BEER
= 4-5 oz WINE (1 GLASS) = 1 – 1 ½ oz HARD LIQUOR (~1 “shot”)ONE STANDARD DRINK =.6 oz of 100% alcohol

Slide12PROOF i
s a term that reflects the potency of a beverage
It is an expression of the % ALCOHOL….Double the % = the PROOFEXAMPLE: Vodka 40% ALCOHOL = 80 PROOFPROOF

Slide21Alcohol acts differently in teenagers
Brain not fully matured…especially frontal lobe
Alcohol more likely to impair LEARNING in adolescents…effects how memories are formed…more likely to experience “blackouts”Less likely to get sleepy from alcohol…leading to increase risk of dangerous levels of alcoholALCOHOL AND ADOLESCENTS
Slide22SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS (may only have 1 symptom or several):
Is not responding to yelling, pinching, poking, etc.
Has slow breathing (> than 10 seconds b/w breaths)Can’t stand upHas cool, clammy, pale or bluish skinIs constantly vomiting or not fully awake when vomitingIrregular or slow pulse ALCOHOL POISONING
Slide23DO’s FOR ALCOHOL POISONING
DO Place person on their side
