4 Unlike food, alcohol is not digested but rather absorbed through the blood stream. It is quickly carried to all parts of the body. Alcohol has the greatest effect on the brain because the brain requires large amount of blood. A drinker s mental and physical abilities become diminished.

5 Laws/Test/Penalties Involving the use of Alcohol. In all States you must be 21 to purchase or consume alcohol. Each year in the United States under age drinking causes. BAC/DUI/DWI What do these mean? BAC- This stands for Blood Alcohol Concentration In most states, adult drivers with a BAC of.10 percent or higher can be charged. In Kentucky this.08 or higher! BAC/DUI/DWI What do these mean? DUI- This stands driving under the influence of Alcohol DWI- This stands for driving while intoxicated. These terms mean the same thing and are both often used. Teenage Drivers In teenage drivers a BAC level of.01 is enough for conviction of a DUI in many states. A police officer CAN still arrest you even if your BAC is below the requirement. You could fail the sobriety test or be driving recklessly Sobriety Test Sobriety Test- A group of tests used by police to determine if a driver is impaired. The tests assess balance, coordination and the ability of the driver to divide his attention to more than one task. TEST Breathalyzer Breathalyzer-is a device for estimating blood alcohol content (BAC) from a breath sample. Almost any drug can impair you ability to drive not just Alcohol. These drugs included: Over the counter Prescription Illegal Drugs 5
6 Types of Drugs Distractions while Driving! Depressants- these drugs slow down or depress the cns. Stimulants- these drugs speed up or stimulate the cns. Hallucinogens- these drugs are very dangerous and therefore illegal. Narcotics- these are strong depressant type drugs. Can cause stupor, coma, or even death Drivers can face many distractions while driving. You need to be aware of possible distractions and how to avoid or deal with them in order to be a safe and responsible driver. Distractions while Driving! Interesting Facts! Allstate Insurance in 2009 sights the following distractions that cause motor vehicle accidents in teenage and young adult drivers: Talking/texting on the phone Adjusting radio/music electronics Talking or socializing with passengers Eating a meal or snack Most drivers know that texting while driving is unsafe but continue to do so anyway. Kentucky is one of the top 5 states with the highest teenage mortality rate caused by automobile accidents. In every state rural areas had a higher rate of fatal teen driving crashes than metropolitan areas. Can you possibly explain this statistic? Why the increase with age? Interesting Facts! Speeding is actually the leading cause cited in fatal crashes involving teen drivers nationwide. Law enforcement cited speeding as a factor in 34.4% of fatal crashes nationally. Alcohol was identified as a contributing factor in 11.9% of crashes nationally during the seven years from 2000 through Lack of seatbelt use was listed as a contributing factor in 33.0% of fatal crashes involving teens nationwide 6
