[[Health Week 7]]
1. For the calculator, I looked at data for a male weighing 130 lbs using American units.
| Number of Drinks | Type | Blood Alcohol Level (g/210 L breath) | Psychological Effect |
| ---------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1 | Light beer | 0.000 | This drink would be small enough to have no impact or symptoms present in the person. |
| 2 | Frozen daquiri | 0.075 | This is in the euphoria stage where the person has less self-control, judgement, and attention. There also may be some motor impairment and decreased processing speed |
| 3 | Gin and tonic | 0.043 | This value is between the subclinical and euphoria stages which means that there might not be any noticeable behavior excepting special tests. There also may be some symptoms such as decreased judgement, control and information processing. |
| 4 | Manhattan | 0.194 | This value is between the excitement and confusion stage. The excitement stage includes symptoms such as emotional instability, impairment of perception, and reduced visual acuity. The confusion stage includes symptoms such as disorientation, mental confusion and an increased pain threshold. |
| 5 | Double on the rocks | 0.269 | This value is between the confusion and stupor stage. The stupor stage includes symptoms such as approaching the loss of motor functions, highly decreased response time and the inability to stand or walk. |
| 6 | Margarita | 0.172 | This value is in the excitement stage, which would include symptoms such as impairment of perception, decreased sensatory response and impaired balance. |
3. One thing that I was surprised about in this exercise was that having one light beer in a two hour period would likely result in a blood alcohol value of 0.000 g/210 L of breath. It makes sense that the alcohol will eventually leave the blood stream and the person will no longer be intoxicated, but I was surprised that after only two hours there is essentially no effect from drinking a light beer especially for someone who is only 130 lbs. One advantage of obtaining this information online could be spreading awareness about the alcohol content in different kinds of drinks. There are likely some drinks that have a higher or lower concentration that people might think, and knowing this can help them to make safer decisions when drinking in the future. One limitation of obtaining information online is that there are many assumptions being made about the person and drink content. The site does have a disclaimer at the bottom claiming this, and there are many physical factors that could change someone's BAC from the value predicted by this calculator. The drinks in this tool also have preset alcohol concentrations that likely differ based on where you get the drink from and who makes it. The value predicted is likely an average, and in reality it could differ widely from store-bought drinks to custom mixed ones.
