Blood Alcohol Concentration Factors T – 7.6 Topic 3 Lesson 1 Liquor Beer Weight (blood volume)Weight (blood volume) Time Spent DrinkingTime Spent Drinking GenderGender FoodFood Alcohol Content and Size of DrinkAlcohol Content and Size of Drink Wine BAC is the mathematical ratio of the percentage of alcohol in the blood stream. Factors affecting BAC

BAC Factors T – 7.6a Topic 3 Lesson 1 Weight Heavier people have more blood and other body fluids to dilute alcohol consumed lbs 110 lbs Wine Liquor Time Spent Drinking 90% of the alcohol detoxified is oxidized (burned up) by the liver 10% is eliminated in breath, urine, and sweat Beer Their BAC level will be lower than the BAC of a smaller person who drank the same volume of alcohol. On average, a person ’ s BAC is oxidized at a rate of per hour NOTE: Alcohol is toxic to the liver and brain. Hence, the term intoxication denotes the toxic effect alcohol has on these organs.

BAC Factors T – 7.6b Topic 3 Lesson 1 Liquor Gender Women process alcohol at a slower rate than men. This is because they usually weigh less and produce less of the enzyme dehydrogenase needed by the liver to break down alcohol. Men also have a higher percentage of body fluids which dilutes the alcohol. Food Beer The amount of food in your stomach does very little to reduce the effect alcohol has on the brain and liver. However, food does coat the lining of the stomach and slows absorption into the blood stream. Note: When alcohol is mixed with carbonated beverages the absorption rate is faster because gases are absorbed faster than liquids. Wine

Elimination Rate Topic 3 Lesson 1 T – 7.10 Myth The average person can tolerate one drink per hour without substantial impairment. Facts Sobriety returns ONLY with time.Sobriety returns ONLY with time. Alcohol is eliminated at approximately.015 BAC per hour.Alcohol is eliminated at approximately.015 BAC per hour. Titanic Principle If you take in more than your system can pump out, sooner or later you ’ ll sink!

Elimination Rate Topic 3 Lesson 1 T – 7.10a Example Based on 1 drink per hour for 6 hours 150 lb male BAC in (6 hr. x.03) =.18 BAC out (6 hr. x.015) =.09 BAC after 6 hr. ( ) =.09 BAC remaining 150 lb female BAC in (6 hr. x.033) =.198 BAC out (6 hr. x.015) =.09 BAC after 6 hr. ( ) =.108 BAC remaining

Elimination of Alcohol ELIMINATION PROCESS An adult male with normal liver function eliminates Breath Urine Sweat } 10% LIVER 90% about BAC per hour. Therefore:BAC of 0.05 = 3.5 hours for removal BAC of 0.07 = 5.0 hours for removal BAC of 0.10 = 7.0 hours for removal BAC of 0.15 = 10.0 hours for removal T – 7.10b Topic 3 Lesson 1

Affects Persons Differently T – 7.13 Topic 3 Lesson 2 Personality Because people have unique personalities alcohol affects everyone differently. Alcohol can affect an individual in various ways depending upon the drinker ’ s mood when consuming the alcohol. Experience The inexperienced driver is at extreme risk when alcohol is involved. Tolerance Many drinkers develop an ability to mask the effects alcohol has on their brain and body. This ability, however, has NO affect on their intoxication level. Liquor Wine Beer

Affects Persons Differently T – 7.13a Topic 3 Lesson 2 Medication The chemical reaction between alcohol and other drugs can produce an effect that is much greater than that of alcohol or other drugs when taken alone. Weight Heavier people have more blood and body fluids to dilute the alcohol. Therefore, their BAC will be lower than that of a smaller person who consumed the same volume of alcohol. Age Age The neurological development of the brain continues until a person is in their 20 ’ s. The risks of impairing memory and learning capacity can be severely affected by the use of alcohol during adolescence. Fatigue Alcohol is a depressant. It will compound the effect of fatigue.
