How dangerous is alcohol in the blood and on what does the rate of its weathering depend?

In Russia in recent decades, the number of people who drink alcohol has increased significantly. But, unfortunately, most of them do not even suspect what harm the hot drinks can cause. Studies that were conducted in the last century showed that alcohol in the blood when taking just 50 grams of vodka (it is somewhere around 7-9 grams of pure alcohol) begins to significantly affect the human psyche, while visible signs of intoxication appear Only after a person drinks 20-30 grams of pure alcohol.

According to the findings of the doctors of the World Health Organization, which were obtained after the tests, alcohol in the blood in the amount of 20-40 grams for men and 20 grams for women poses no danger to human health and life. When translating the last digit into the hot drinks, you get 100 ml of wine, 25 ml of vodka and 200 ml of beer. If you believe these conclusions, then the beer bank is completely harmless. Although cirrhosis of the liver, which is among the top ten causes of death, so "does not think", it just amazes more and more people.

It is proved that alcohol in the blood inhibits almost all processes in the brain. A person who at least slightly drank, there is a violation of coordination of movement, a sense of balance, reduced hearing, memory and attention, he ceases to navigate in space. Therefore, those whose work is associated with increased care and concentration, even a few sips of beer are contra-indicated, let alone stronger alcoholic beverages.

Different people have alcohol in their own way. In some countries, even there are special computer programs and calculations to determine the permissible amount of alcohol, which will not cause harm to the body. And this is done for each person individually.

If we talk about how much alcohol is in the blood, then here again everything is different. The most important factor in the degree of alcoholic intoxication is the weight of a person. The more body weight, the more time alcohol will be eliminated. In addition, in women, the weathering of alcohol occurs 20% longer than for men. It can also be said that, for example, vodka, which at times increases alcohol in the blood, the elimination time will be much higher (from 4 to 38 hours) than, say, beer (from 2 to 30 hours). Therefore, it can be argued that the strength of the drink also affects the time of sobering the body.

Promille is a unit of speed of the process of processing alcohol by the liver in one hour. In women, it is 0.085-0.10, in men it is 0.10-0.15. For example, if 0.5 ppm was found in a person's blood, this means that 0.5 g of alcohol per liter of his body's fluid.

By the way, the flow of alcohol into the blood will be much slower if the stomach is full. In this case, the suction time is from 1.5 to 2 hours. If you drink fasting drinks on an empty stomach, then the concentration of alcohol in the blood will increase in half an hour

So, summing up it can be said that the degree of intoxication and the speed of sobering a person depends on the sex of the person, the mass of his body, the strength of the drink and the satiety of the stomach.
