Study Notes
Standard Drink Measurement
- A standard drink is a consistent measure of alcohol in beverages.
- A standard drink of wine is defined as 5 ounces.
College Drinking Statistics
- 11% of incoming college students identify as frequent, high-risk drinkers.
- A common misconception is that many college students heavily drink, while a majority do not.
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC)
- A BAC of 0.04 or lower is where individuals often report feeling a "good mood."
- The liver is primarily responsible for eliminating alcohol from the bloodstream.
- Only time can lower BAC levels, not methods such as cold showers or caffeine.
- It takes approximately 1 hour for the body to process one standard drink (0.6 ounces) of alcohol.
Gender and BAC
- Women generally reach higher BAC levels more quickly than men, even when consuming the same amount of alcohol at the same weight.
Alcohol and Mixed Drinks
- A 12-ounce hard seltzer and 1.5 ounces of liquor are both standard drinks due to their equal pure alcohol content.
- The alcohol content in mixed drinks can vary significantly.
Vaping and Cannabis Usage
- Vaping poses risks as products may contain higher nicotine levels than traditional cigarettes.
- Cannabis legality on college campuses is restricted in federally funded institutions, despite state laws.
Alcohol and Medication Interactions
- Mixing alcohol with prescription medications can be dangerous due to various adverse interactions.
- Potential side effects of alcohol consumption with medications include nausea and increased sedation.
Signs of Overdose and Consent
- Key indicators of an alcohol overdose include confusion, vomiting, seizures, and slow breathing, while aggression is not a typical sign.
- Consent is invalid under conditions of incapacitation, as signs can vary widely among individuals.
Misuse of Alcohol and Support
- Indicators of alcohol misuse include erratic behaviors and withdrawal symptoms; merely drinking with friends is not a sign.
- If concerned about a friend's alcohol or drug misuse, seeking help or expressing concern can positively impact their situation.
Legal Context
- Most higher education institutions must adhere to federal laws regarding alcohol and other drug regulations, which may conflict with state laws.
