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.
  • 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.
  • Most higher education institutions must adhere to federal laws regarding alcohol and other drug regulations, which may conflict with state laws.
