EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL DRINKING
When alcohol enters the bloodstream, it goes in all the parts of the body. The main effect of alcohol
drinking reflects on a person’s central nervous system (CNS). The CNS control’s one’s mental processes, memory, speech, learning and decision-making. It also affects a person’s senses, feelings, movement and breathing.
The amount of alcohol that entered in the bloodstream at a certain period can be measured in percentages through blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or most often called blood alcohol level (BAL). A BAC of 0.05 percent means there is 5 parts of alcohol per 10,000 parts of blood in the body. A 0.3-0.5 percent BAC could lead to coma, brain damages and even death.
