0 Don't Drink and Drive!

Short time ago famous vocalist deathcore band Suicide Silence, Mitch Lucker, was killed in an accident on suspicion of consuming alcohol before driving a motorcycle. How much amount of alcohol consumption can be fatal?

Drink a sip or two sips of alcoholic drinks does make sense to be relaxed or happy. But if you go on up to a few sips of the eyes will begin to blur and the coordinating body is also reduced. How alcohol can create side effects like that?

Membranes of the cells of body tissues and human blood vessels easily penetrated alcohol so quickly spread throughout the body biological tissues. As a result, drinkers would be unconscious or fainting, and even poisoning resulting in death can occur. Death can also occur due to shortness of breath and threw up.

Effect of Alcohol Based Dose Rate

The difference in the amount of alcohol concentration in the body has a different effect. Here is varied effects of alcohol on the body by blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Of course, the level of tolerance of each person is different.

1. Euphoria (BAC = 0.03-0.12%)

• The subjects experienced an increasing mood and euforia
• Become more confident, to become more familiar and or talkative
• Reduced visibility

2. Sluggish (BAC = 0.09-0.25%)

• The subjects become sleepy
• The reaction slows
• Easy to lose balance

3. Fainting (BAC = 0.25 to 0.40%)

• The subject can be in a coma so it's really not aware of the surrounding environment, time, and actions of others.
• Difficulty moving
• Very high risk of death due to alcohol poisoning

4. Coma (BAC = 0,35 to 0,50%)

• Subjects lost consciousness
• Heart rate dropped dramatically that death usually occurs at this level

5. Death (BAC = beyond 0,50%)

• Can cause damage or failure of the central nervous system, resulting in death
