Alcohol in the Body Alcohol enters the blood stream in minutes
About 20 percent through the stomach walls Majority of it through the intestine walls The rest excreted through urine, perspiration, or
breath. What happens to it?
Alcohol is changed to harmless waste by the liver Liver can only process about one drink an hour
• What is left builds up in the body• The more that is consumed the stronger the effects• Alcohol is measured by BAC. Blood Alcohol

What is Alcohol?
Alcohol is a toxin A toxin is a poisonous substance to the body If too much is consumed the stomach rejects
it causing the individual to vomit. The body tries to break down alcohol as fast
as it can• Why would someone be drunk the next day?• Does coffee, fresh air, showers help with
intoxication level?

BAC Factors that effect Blood Alcohol Content
Amount of alcohol consumed• Number of drinks and strength
Speed it is consumed• Faster increases BAC• Can be dangerous
Body weight• Bigger body=more blood
Percentage of body fat• Lean body tissue is more absorbent
Gender• Females
Less stomach enzymes to break down alcohol in stomach to enter blood stream.

BAC More Factors
Feelings• Stress, anger, and fear can speed up the time it takes alcohol to
enter the bloodstream Food eaten
• If someone has alcohol on an empty stomach the alcohol enters the bloodstream much faster.
Other drugs in the system• Tranquilizers and painkillers can heighten the effects of alcohol.
Age• Elderly people are more sensitive to the effects of alcohol
Carbonation• Carbonated beverages pass through the bloodstream faster then
non-carbonated beverages.
