Explain the effects
of alcohol on the
body.
Name two diseases
caused by long
term alcohol abuse.
Relate alcohol
poisoning to blood
alcohol level.
Describe stages of
alcoholism.
What we consider “one” drink:
 Go to workbook:
1. You can feel the effects of alcohol
within minutes.
2. The liver is responsible for
breaking down alcohol into
carbon dioxide and water.
3. It takes the liver about an hour to
break down the alcohol in one
drink.
4. One drink is enough to interfere
with a person’s judgment and
reflexes.
 5. The percentage of alcohol in a person’s
bloodstream is called Blood Alcohol Level (BAL)
1. When you drink alcohol you may feel flushed
or warm because the blood vessels near the
skin dilate and widen.
2. You may also have to urinate constantly
because your body is trying to get rid of the
“poison”.
3. Alcohol affects your coordination and
inhibitions once this has happened, the
alcohol in your bloodstream has entered your
brain.

alcohol use are A. Hepatitis and B. Cirrhosis.
 Hepatitis is an inflammation/infection of the liver.
 Cirrhosis – liver cells replaced with scar tissue.

Alcohol can also damage the heart by
causing fatty deposits to develop on
the heart muscle interfering with it’s
pumping ability.
Alcohol kills brain cells.
Alcohol use can increase your chances
of suffering from cancers of the liver,
esophagus, stomach, larynx.

 Go to workbook
 BAC is the blood alcohol concentration, the amount
of alcohol in your blood as you drink.
 It’s calculated by determining how many milligrams
of alcohol are present in 100 milliliters of blood.
 Michigan Laws: Adults BAC of .08, Drivers under
21 .02 – “zero tolerance” policy
What we consider “one” drink:
Breathalyzers
• Measure the level of alcohol in the blood
(BAC).
• The blood alcohol content can be
detected without the breathalyzer
device being in contact with the blood.
• It has been scientifically proven that
the concentration of alcohol in the
breath is mathematically related to the
concentration of alcohol in the blood.
• (By a ratio of 2100 to 1 - the amount of
alcohol in 1 mL of blood is equivalent to
the amount of alcohol in 2100 mL of
your breath, or alveolar air).
• How does the alcohol get into your breath after you drink it?
• Alcohol, when ingested is absorbed through various parts of
your body, from your mouth and throat, through to your
stomach and intestines.
• The absorbed alcohol isn't digested and it doesn't change
chemically when it enters the bloodstream.
• As the heart pushes the blood through your body, it eventually
reaches the lungs, where some of the alcohol is pushed
through the alveoli (air sacs in the lungs) and evaporates
there.
• When asked to perform a breathalyzer test, the air from your
lungs is exhaled into the breathalyzer device that detects the
level of alcohol in the exhaled breath.
 .03% - .04% = some loss of judgment and
efficiency. Alertness is significantly decreased.
 .07% - .08% = walking, talking and balance are
visibly affected. The drinker’s ability to react is
notably slower.
 .16% - .19% = behavior is greatly affected. Lack
of motor control and mental confusion occurs.
Severe mood swings.
 .20% - .30% = confused or dazed state.
Unconsciousness may occur. All physical and
mental abilities are severely impaired. Central
nervous system is acutely depressed.
• The person is semiconscious or unconscious.
• Skin is cold, clammy, pale or bluish.
• Breathing is slow, less than eight times per
minute, or irregular.
• Vomiting while “sleeping” or passed out and not
waking up.
 Get help. Call 911.
 Do not leave the person.
 Turn the person on their
side to keep them from
choking if they vomit.
 Do not wait! It is better to be
concerned than to be sorry.
You may save someone’s life.
Using Refusal Skills: Ways to Turn Down a Drink
 Refuse politely but firmly. No, thanks. I’ve
already got a drink (such as bottled water, juice, etc.).
 Give a personal reason. I’m watching my weight;
I’m allergic to it; I hate the taste; It gives me a
headache.
 Explain that you have more important goals.
I’ve got a game in the morning. It affects my
schoolwork. I want to be in control of my life.
 State your values and responsibilities. I
wouldn’t consider it. It’s against the law for people
my age.
