The Impact of Alcohol

BAC IS THE AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL IN A PERSON’S BLOOD EXPRESSED AS A PERCENTAGE Blood Alcohol Content (concentration)

Any amount of alcohol in the blood can cause the following Slow Reflexes Reduced ability to judge distances and speed Increase in risk-taking behaviors Reduced concentration and increased forgetfulness

What is a drink?

Illinois State Law for underage or of-age Drinking and Driving To obtain driving relief from the penalties of a DUI or DWI, you MUST be 18+ years old, serve 30 days of “hard” suspension, and drive a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) equipped vehicle.

Alcoholism An alcoholic is an addict who is either physically (physiologically) or psychologically dependent on alcohol.

Alcoholism Symptoms of alcoholism include 1.Craving- Feeling a strong need for alcohol to manage stress or being preoccupied thinking about it. 2.Loss of Control – An inability to limit alcohol consumption 3.Physical Dependence- Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety. 4.Tolerance- A need to drink increasingly more alcohol in order to feel its effects

Stages of alcoholism Stage 1- Abuse This may begin with social drinking that is in excess. A dependence develops and the person usually tries to justify their drinking Stage 2 - Dependence The person cannot stop drinking but tries to hide the problem. Jobs, studies or home life begins to suffer Stage 3- Addiction The liver may already be damaged, so less alcohol is needed to cause drunkenness and if the addict stopped drinking severe withdrawal symptoms would occur.

Alcoholism The behavior of alcoholics varies- some are aggressive while others may become withdrawn. Alcohol abuse and dependence plays a negative effect on society and people around the addict. Over 15 million people are alcoholics in America 40% of violent crimes are alcohol related. People close to alcoholics develop mentally unhealthy habits such as codependency. Codependents forget their own physical and emotional needs to focus their needs on the alcoholic.

Alcoholism cannot be cured, but it can be treated. Recovery is the process of learning to live alcohol free. Recovering Alcoholics must make a life- long commitment to sobriety.
