term effects. My presentation will take about 5 minutes. If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask them afterwards. Firstly I would focus on the short term effects of alcohol consumption. The amount and circumstances of alcohol consumption play a large part in determining the extent of intoxication; for instance, consuming alcohol after a heavy meal causes alcohol to absorb more slowly. Hydration also plays a role as for determining the extent of hangovers. Initially, alcohol produces feelings of relaxation and cheerfulness, but as a result of further consumption blurred vision and coordination problems generally occure. As far as cell membranes are concerned they are highly permeable to alcohol, once alcohol is in the bloodstream it can diffuse into nearly every biological tissue of the body. Excessive drinking may lead to unconsciousness or alcohol poisoning. Death can also occur.
faster you drink the more your BAC goes up because your body doesn't have as long to delute the alcohol. BINGE DRINKING Drinking a lot of something at one time is not really good for your system, no matter what it is. Bringe drinking is drinking to get drunk, it is what a lot of college people do. Drinking at least five drinks all in one sitting. When they do this the side effects become more serious: vomiting, dizziness, impaired mental capabilities,and hangovers. Those are only short term reactions, others things that binge drinking influence are: athletic performence, poor grades, sexual assault, fights, accidents, drinking and driving, and other health risks. If you think that not a lot of people do this , it is about 50% of collage men and 37% of collage women are classified as binge drinkers. A recent study show that studnts spend about $5.5 billion dollare on alcohol each year
