ALCOHOL NOTEMAKERA

Alcohol is a depressant. It alters mood, thinking and behavior. The intoxicating ingredient in alcoholic drinks is ethyl alcohol (ETHANOL). Pure alcohol has no color or taste. Alcoholic drinks get their color and flavor from the ingredients used to make them.

The Least You Need to Know:1. Short term vs. Long term effects…2. What is a ‘standard drink…’3. What is BAC?4. What is oxidation?5. How long to oxidize 1 drink?6. Sobering Myths…7. Factors influencing absorption…8. F.A.S. (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome)9. Factors contributing to alcoholism.

Did You Know…

40% of all crimes (violent and non-violent) were committed under the influence of alcohol (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1998)

40% of convicted rape and sexual assault offenders said that they were drinking at the time of their crime (Greenfield, 2000).

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 82 percent of 12-17 year-olds do not drink. (2004 National Survey on Drug Use and Health).

Alcohol consumption by college students is linked to at least 1,400 student deaths and 500,000 unintentional injuries each year. (Statistic from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Addiction, Alcohol Alert, 58:1-4, 2002.)

In 2002, 17,419 people in the United States died in alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes, accounting for 41% of all traffic-related deaths (NHTSA, 2003).

Path of Alcohol

1. Mouth: alcohol enters the body. 2. Stomach: some alcohol gets in the bloodstream in the stomach, but most goes on to the small intestine. 3. Small Intestine: alcohol enters the bloodstream through the walls of the small intestine. 4. Heart: pumps alcohol throughout the body. 5. Brain: alcohol reaches the brain. 6. Liver: alcohol is oxidized or REMOVED/FILTERED by the liver at a rate of about 1 drink per hour. Alcohol is converted into water, carbon dioxide and energy.

THE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL and

THE ADOLESCENT BRAIN

Brain- first area depressed (slowed down): speech, thought, restraint, judgment, inhibition • Then, spinal cord reflexes and respiration which can be fatal.• disturbed sleep patterns, change in REM sleep• black-outs may occur (periods of time that can’t be remembered when sober)

Effects on Body Continued

Cardiovascular- dilates blood vessels which causes loss of heat

*initially increases heart rate, then slows it down Gastrointestinal- toxic effect on stomach lining *irritates ulcers

*increases acid and pepsin secretions (digestive fluid) *nauseant Sexual Stimulation- too much alcohol abolishes sexual

function Liver- (blood volume circulates through liver every 4 minutes) *cells in liver destroyed *scarring, also called Cirrhosis

*fatty liver *can cause death long term

Blood Alcohol Concentration

Blood Alcohol Concentration: measured in percentages

*.10 means 10ml of alcohol per 100mL of blood

OR 10% of all the blood in your body is comprised of alcohol…..!!!!

*maximum BAC is reached within 20-30 minutes

Absorption and Metabolism

Absorption and metabolism of alcohol: *rapid absorption *stomach absorbs ¼ *rest is absorbed in small intestine *liver breaks down alcohol in about 1 drink an hour

Amounts of alcohol: (2/3 ounce of pure ethanol) Same for all below!! *shot of hard liquor (86 proof/ 43% alcohol) *wine- 5 ounces (12% alcohol) *can of beer 12 ounces (4.5% alcohol)

Standard Drinks

1 bottle, 4 % - 6 % 1 small glass of wine, 10% - 14% 1 shot 30mL , (hard liquor), 37% - 43%

A standard drink contains approximately 10 grams of alcohol.

This is equivalent to:

Cerebellum--Body movement coordination

Hippocampus--Learning and memory

Cerebral cortex, especially cingulate, frontal, and parietal regions--Higher cognitive functions

Nucleus accumbens —Reward

Basal ganglia--Movement control

Effects on the Heart

One study has indicated that a user’s risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana.

The researchers suggest that such an effect might occur from marijuana’s effects on blood pressure and heart rate and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.

Effects on the Lungs…..

Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers have. daily cough and phlegm, symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and more frequent chest colds. Continuing to smoke marijuana can lead to abnormal

functioning of lung tissue injured or destroyed by marijuana smoke.

amount of tar inhaled by marijuana smokers and the level of carbon monoxide absorbed are three to five times greater than among tobacco smokers.
