liquor > i.e. whiskey, vodka, gin, brandy >
fermented planted with further processing to
increase alcohol content
Describe in words how alcohol travels
throughout the body (pg. 371)
Enters mouth > down esophagus > stomach where
some alcohol enters bloodstream thru lining >
small intestines where balance of alcohol enters
the bloodstream > Heart pumps alcohol
everywhere > Brain where it washes over
important control areas > liver where it is oxidized
and eliminated

consists of the brain + spinal cord
Alcohol, the drug, slows down the workings of the
CNS

BAC = Blood Alcohol Concentration > amount
of alcohol in your bloodstream as expressed

blood
BAC increases relative to the # of drinks
consumed and how quickly
See Table 1 p. 372
