Physiological Aspects of Alcohol Consumption ! Absorption & Effects: ! Alcohol (ETOH) is absorbed into the blood by the stomach and small intestine ! Initial effects = higher CNS, control of judgment & inhibition & fine motor control, DISINHIBITION. ! Increased ETOH = effects on lower CNS confused, inappropriate, memory impairment, emotionally labile, motor & sensory impairment. ! Extent of impairment determined by blood ETOH, intoxication=0.09%, at 0.55% = death, due to depression of respiratory centers in the medulla.

How alcohol affects the brain

Physiological Aspects of <strong>Alcohol</strong><br />

Consumption<br />

! Absorption & Effects:<br />

! <strong>Alcohol</strong> (ETOH) is absorbed into the blood by the<br />

stomach and small intestine<br />

! Initial effects = higher CNS, control of judgment<br />

& inhibition & fine motor control, DISINHIBITION.<br />

! Increased ETOH = effects on lower CNS confused,<br />

inappropriate, memory impairment, emotionally<br />

labile, motor & sensory impairment.<br />

! Extent of impairment determined by blood ETOH,<br />

intoxication=0.09%, at 0.55% = death, due to<br />

depression of respiratory centers in the medulla.
