Alcohol is a stimulant that speeds up the central nervous
system.
False
Alcohol is a depressant that slows down the central
nervous system and impacts how a person thinks, acts and
moves.
Once alcohol gets into the bloodstream it will be carried
throughout the body, into tissues and organs (e.g. the
brain). True
Alcohol begins to move through the stomach, intestines,
and into the bloodstream, even as the first drink is being
consumed. Every heartbeat then carries it throughout the
body, into tissues and organs.
The amount of alcohol in the bloodstream is called Blood
Alcohol Concentration (BAC). True
,2
Blood Alcohol Concentration is measured by the amount
of alcohol (milligrams) found in 100 millilitres of blood
and is shown in grams per 100mL.
The body uses chemicals in the liver to break down
(metabolize) the alcohol so that it can be eliminated from
the body. True
Approximately 60% of the alcoholic content will be
slowly eliminated from the bloodstream. The remaining
40% will be eliminated through a person's breath, sweat,
and urine. False
Approximately 90% of the alcoholic content will be
slowly eliminated from the bloodstream. The remaining
10% will be eliminated through a person's breath, sweat,
and urine.
How many ounces would it take for spirits containing
30% alcohol to equal a Standard Drink?
2 ounces
A serving of 2 ounces with 30% alcohol will equal one
Standard Drink.
(60 ÷ 30 = 2).
1.5 ounces (43 mL) with 40% alcohol is one Standard
Drink of:
Spirits
,3
5 ounces (142 mL) with 12% alcohol is one Standard
Drink of:
Wine
12 ounces (341 mL) with 5% alcohol is one Standard
Drink of:
Beer
What is the formula for calculating a Standard Drink?
The formula for calculating a Standard Drink is: 60 ÷
alcohol percentage = amount (in ounces).
How many Standard Drinks are there in 3 ounces of
spirits with 40% alcohol?
2 Standard Drinks
(3 ounces ÷ 1.5 ounces = 2 Standard Drinks)
Sheila weighs 125 pounds and has consumed 3 Standard
Drinks in 2 hours. Can you estimate her BAC level?
0.08 and is likely showing signs of intoxication.
Franco weighs 175 pounds and has consumed 5 drinks
during the last 4 hours. Can you estimate his BAC level?
0.06 and may be starting to show signs of intoxication.
, 4
An older person who drinks the same amount of alcohol
as a younger person will likely have a higher BAC level.
True
As people age, their ability to metabolize alcohol
decreases
Eating foods that are high in fat and protein before or
while drinking, will help to slow down alcohol
absorption.
True
Food absorbs alcohol, keeping it in the stomach longer
which slows down the rate at which it is absorbed into the
bloodstream.
People with more body fat tend to have a higher BAC
than more muscular people of the same weight.
True
Alcohol is not absorbed into fatty tissue and therefore is
more concentrated in a smaller body mass.
Mixing a Caffeinated Energy Drink with alcohol
increases the potential of your customer not realizing they
are becoming intoxicated.
True
