Alcohol And It’s Affects Created by T.. Magallan @ Truitt MS What is Alcohol? • Alcohol is a drug contained in drinks such as beer, wine, wine coolers and hard liquor. • After you drink it, alcohol is absorbed through the walls of the stomach and intestines, directly into the blood stream. The alcohol then travels through the blood to the brain. • Once it reaches the brain, it depresses or slows down the brain’s activity. How does Alcohol affect the body? • Small Amounts – Slows down ability to think clearly and make decisions – Causes people to feel more daring than usual and take risks – Makes you feel more relaxed • Larger Amounts – Slows down other areas of the brain and nervous system – Causes dizziness – Decreases coordination and reaction time – Makes it harder to speak, walk, and stay awake – Causes some people to pass out – Causes emotional behavior What are the behavioral effects of alcohol? • Pass out or have temporary memory loss because of drug’s action on the brain • Violence (fighting/arguing) • Loud talking • Obnoxious/annoying behaviors • Silliness/giggling • Giddiness
