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 beveragesGenderSlide16
Blood Alcohol Level Calculations(7)
BAL = (150/body weight) x (%alcohol/50)
x (ounces consumed) x (0.025)Slide17
Blood Alcohol Level Example175 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%Slide18
Blood Alcohol Levels: So What?(8)BAL = 0.03 to 0.12 (Euphoria)
Self-confident/daring
Short attention span
Poor judgment
Fine motor skills impairedSlide19
Blood Alcohol Levels(8)BAL = 0.09 to 0.25 (Excitement)
Sleepy
Memory loss
Reaction time decreased
Uncoordinated/loss of balance
Blurry vision and impaired sensesSlide20
Blood Alcohol Levels(8)
BAL = 0.18 to 0.30 (Confusion)
Confused/dizzy
Highly emotional
Cannot see/slurred speech
Uncoordinated/sleepyMay not feel pain as easilySlide21
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 consciousnessSlide22
Blood Alcohol Levels(8)BAL = 0.35 to 0.50 (Coma)
Unconscious
Reflexes depressed
Decreased body temperature
Decreased breathing rate
Decreased heart rateCould dieSlide23
Blood Alcohol Levels(8)BAL = Greater than 0.50 (Death)
Breathing stops
That says it all! Slide24
Driving Limits(6)Most states set the legal level of
intoxication at 0.08 to 0.10Slide25
Drinking is a Personal Choice but Who Else is Affected?Friends and family
Strangers
Unborn babies
–
Fetal alcohol syndromeSlide26
What is Fetal Alcohol Syndrome?When mother drinks, baby drinks
Alcohol disrupts brain development
Your turn to research!Slide27
Looking BackDrinking has various definitions
Binge and Chronic
Drinking can have short- and long-term
effects

Memory lossNervous system/liver problems Slide28
Looking Back (cont.) Blood alcohol levels are affected by weight and gender
Drinking is a personal choice, but it
