DRINKING AND DRIVING

19. PERCEIVED NORMS What % of high school students do you think drink alcohol? YRBS says: Just under have tried alcohol at least once. Only about currently (in the last 30 days) drink. Why do teens drink? Among teens who currently drink, how much alcohol do you think they drink? 22% of those students who drink had 5 or more drinks in a row within a couple of hours on at least 1 day during the past 30 days.

20. BINGE DRINKING (4 OR MORE) Drinking a dangerous amount of alcohol in a short time. Ingest more alcohol than the body can handle at one time. Size, weight and gender affect how fast this happens. Leads to rapid intoxication, vomiting, passing out, blackouts and developing a tolerance for alcohol. Blackout- when a person can’t remember what happened while drinking.

21. BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL Alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach and small intestine. Measured as a ratio (in tenths): the more alcohol absorbed, the higher the BAL, the more intoxicated they become..02%, two-tenths of a percent- reaction time is impaired..04% person develops a buzz from drinking..06% the effects of drinking alcohol change. Good feelings become less positive, negative effects become more negative..08% coordination and judgement impaired. Considered legally drunk for a person who is driving..10% high risk of injury and blackouts..25% risk of alcohol overdose..40% fatal. Binge drinking causes high BAL in a short time. The only thing that will remove alcohol from a person’s blood is time. The liver can process about ½ ounce of alcohol per hour. The more a person drinks, the longer it takes them to become sober.
