酒精 & 其他药物计划

A standard drink contains approximately 14 grams of pure alcohol and allows us to compare different types of alcohol. For example, a 12-ounce beer has the same alcohol content as 5-ounces of wine or 1.5盎司80度的白酒.

Each drink we consume increases our BAC by approximately .虽然它因体重和性别而异. If we consume too much too quickly, we are at higher risk of experiencing alcohol-related harm. Keeping track of how many standard drinks we consume and pacing ourselves is an effective strategy for reducing risk.

BAC is the concentration of alcohol in a person’s blood. 每一种标准饮料会增加大约 .02-.04, but does depend on several biological factors, so alcohol will affect people differently. The two factors that affect BAC the most is how much alcohol is consumed and how quickly it was consumed. A person’s BAC will increase much more quickly after three or four standard drinks than just one or two standard drinks. 

血液酒精浓度也受到出生时体重和性别的影响. The less we weigh, the higher our BAC increased by each drink. The BAC of a person weighing 120 pounds will increase much more quickly than the BAC of a person weighing 200 pounds if both people consumed the same amount of alcohol over the same amount of time. The BAC of people who were born females will rise more quickly than the BAC of people who were born males. This is due to females typically having less blood volume than males, as well as fewer digestive enzymes to break down alcohol when it is consumed.

How can we tell if someone is just really drunk or is experiencing life-threatening acute alcohol poisoning?

When people drink too much too fast, they are at risk of alcohol poisoning. The body is unable to keep up with toxic levels of alcohol and begins shutting down. 如果有这些症状, it could be life-threatening and the person needs immediate medical attention.

• 如果这个人失去知觉，不能被唤醒.
• 如果他们的皮肤冰冷潮湿，颜色苍白或偏蓝.
• If their breathing is slow or irregular, less than one breath every ten seconds.
• 如果他们在昏倒时呕吐.

If one or more of these signs are present, take the following emergency response steps:

• 拨打911或委托他人拨打.
• Turn the person onto their side in the “recovery position.”
• If breathing stops, perform CPR or find someone who knows how.
• 不要离开那个人.
