Alcohol + Caffeine = Worst Hangover Ever
Caffeine tricks you into drinking more alochol. And, they e both diuretics and very dehydrating = more of ahangover.
Drinking more = Higher BAC
  • Depends on weight (less weight = higher BAC)
  • Girls have less enzyme and less water to dilute
  • Rate of absorbtion.  Faster you drink, faster the BAC goes up
  • Eat before/after slows down
  • HIgh conc = faster absorption 
  • Heavy drinking (5 men, 4 women)
  • Time is only way to sober up
BAC
  • 0.04 should be below this for safer
  • 0.05 harder for motor coordination judgement or memory may go
  • 0.10 start to lose control of emotions, feel physically sick
  • 0.15 BLACKOUT.  Memory isn't recorded
  • 0.28 nerve control impaired.  gag reflex gone. HOSPITAL NEEDED.
  • Alcohol is a drug.
Hangover

Symptoms: nausea, fatigue, headaches, extreme thirst, sensitive to light/sound.

Dehydration is main cause (alcohol alters activity in hypothalamus)

Liver breaks down alcohol into a toxin, which makes you feel sick.

Only cure is to wait it out. 

Why do ppl feel happy buzz?
Alcohol enhances activity in nucleus accumbens (part of brain that feels pleasure)
