A review and maybe even some new information!

Alcohol

I can identify the negative effects of alcohol on the mind and body.

I understand the difference between drinking and binge drinking.

I have the knowledge necessary to make smart decisions regarding alcohol use and abuse.

I can identify the truth behind alcohol advertisements.

Objectives:

What have you learned in the past?What are your thoughts on alcohol?Discuss mental and physical

problems.Do you know the laws? Name a few.

Tell me what you already know:

The younger you are when you start drinking, the more likely you are to have a problem with alcohol.

ONE DRINK=12 ounce beer = 3-4 ounces of wine = 1 shot of 80

proof liquor

Alcohol is a depressant.

Brief Review

How much alcohol is consumed The time period in which it is

consumed How much food was in the

stomach Body weight GenderTolerance Level

How alcohol affects you depends on:

Alcoholics don't know they are becoming alcoholics-- "it just happens".

When someone has a problem, they follow certain patterns: Lie to sober friends Hide it from sober friends Party more with drinking friends Deny they have a problem

If you're asking yourself if you have a problem, you probably do.

More Review: (Focusing on alcoholism)

Alcohol poisoning occurs when you drink too much alcohol too fast, which can lead to coma or even death.

The worst thing to do when a person has had too much to drink is to leave them alone or lying down.

Alcohol-related accidents are the #1 killer of teens.

Binge drinking can lead to permanent brain damage; coma, then death; can happen in less than an hour.

Some of the social effects of alcohol are: unprotected sex, pregnancy, STD's, date rape.

Did you Know?

Last Bit of Review:

Should the DUI limit be lowered from .08 to .05?Support your answer

with at least 3-5 reasons.

Combine the article, with the video, plus any knowledge you have and answer the following question on a separate piece of paper.

College student Jessica Rasdall made a horrible decision seven years ago. After a night of drinking, she got behind the wheel of her car to drive herself and her best friend home. The decision cost Jessica four years in prison, and her best friend's life.

You could lose your job if it involves driving a commercial vehicle.

Your parents and friends probably won’t trust you as much as they did before.

• Your irresponsible behavior could result in serious injury or death, possibly of a close friend or a family member.

So what are the consequences if you get caught?The hassles don’t end

there. Consider thefollowing:

All of that sounds like one big headache to me!
