Etimating Blood Alcohol Levels.
Today you are taking a trip to the Virtual Bar for some drinks, you will not be eating in one scenario, and bringing a friend. Follow the instructions on the website.
Choose alcoholic drinks from the list on the website and use that same type of drink for each calculation. 180 minutes as the time period. Reflect on this information and answer the following questions:
What did the website predict your state of alertness & BAC would be after 5 drinks on an empty stomach?
After how many drinks did it predict your BAC would reach or exceed the legal limit for driving, 0.08 percent?
Calculate your expected BAC using the same number of alcoholic beverages, but with food. What did the website predict your state of alertness would be after 5 drinks ?
Now using the "COMPARE" feature, select a friend preferably the same age but different gender, weight and height. Comment on the results for your friend:
What are the all the factors you can think of for BAC after a given alcohol intake?
f. Where is alcohol (ETOH) absorbed? How many kcal per gram is ETOH?
g. What are long term effects of ETOH use?
