REMEMBER THIS
At .08 Blood Alcohol Level,
you're legally drunk when driving
vehicles;
.01 when haulin' big rigs.
At .04, which is the "good feeling" state,
one's own motor skills show impairment.
REGARDING RED NUMBERS IN CHART
ONE IS NEAR A LIFE THREATENING STATE
AT THIS LEVEL. HOPEFULLY, BEFORE THEN
MOTHER NATURE WILL PREVAIL AND ONE
IS RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS & VOMITING
TO PRESERVE THEIR LIFE. BUT THIS
DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN
So Memorize These Points
Quickly consuming a lot
of alcohol tricks a person into believing
that s/he is in control...
when in fact s/he is in a crisis about to happen.
When people pass-out, they continue
to absorb any excess alcohol,
which means that blood alcohol can
reach lethal levels while sleeping.
For the passed-out person, the drinking party is definitely
over,
BUT THE ALCOHOL CRISIS IS NOT!
Alcohol is absorbed quickly;
but, is detoxified very slowly.
Excess alcohol is stored in the blood
and tissue waiting for
detox by the liver, which rate
= about .5 oz of alcohol/ hr.
If a person becomes unconscious,
is impossible to arouse,
or has trouble breathing,
get medical attention PRONTO.
CALL 911!
Saving a person's
life is worth their little embarrassment.
NEVER LEAVE A PASSED-OUT PERSON ALONE
until s/he is out of crisis.
THEY COULD DIE.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT
THIS INFO.
I don't mean to moralize on this
page...
I just want you to party-hardy,
safely.
