Hi...Friends, This Is A Campaign to change, "Drink Responsibly" to "Drink Appropriately"
------------------------
Because what is more responsible than being "appropriate"?
After all, sometimes the most appropriate action is to drink, and sometimes the most appropriate level of drinking is heavily.

How Much Alcohol Can An Average Adult Metabolilze? Video PSA. This rate varies considerably between individuals; experienced male drinkers with a high body mass may process up to 30 grams (38 mL) per hour, but a more typical figure is 10 grams (12.7 mL) per hour. The average person metabolizes about 1 standard drink (10 grams) per hour. However, alcohol does not accumulate in the blood of a non-alcoholic, healthy, well-fed person so long as consumption levels are below 8 to 10 grams per hour. Alcohol dehydrogenase is saturated when the blood alcohol level reaches 46 mg/dl (equivalent to 0.046); this amounts to about 10 grams of alcohol per hour in a 155-pound man. A woman of the same size would reach the saturation point at about two-thirds of this consumption level. Harmful effects of alcohol are dose-related as are the cardio-protective effects of moderate consumption. Although it is a hypothesis at this point in medical research, many scientists feel that peak blood alcohol levels may be a major factor in determining the level where consumption crosses the line from good to bad. Some feel that the 46 mg/dl (.046 BAC) may be that line. Certainly this is a good point to stay below. It seems to be the liver's saturation point and it's about half of the 0.08 to 0.10 maximums that most states use to determine legal intoxication for drivers. Ninety percent of the alcohol in your bloodstream is metabolised (changed chemically) in the liver at a rate of approximately 10 grams per hour. Aproximately 7-10 grams per hour (equivalent to 1-drink per hour) can be metabolized by adults. The average person metabolizes about 1 standard drink (10 grams) per hour. Unfortunately, the enzymes can only break down so much alcohol at a time, usually about 7 to 10 grams per hour (or about one glass of beer, wine or spirits. Adults metabolize approximately 7-10 grams per hour (equivalent to 1-drink per hour). The average adult metabolizes about 1 standard drink per hour, which is about 8 to 10 grams of alcohol per hour. This couple is going to consume about 2 drinks in the next hour, which is about 20 grams of alcohol in the next hour. Hence, this will leave about 10 to 12 grams of unmetabolized alcohol that will produce toxic effects. Question: How many people in this video are going to have their body adversely affected by an excessive rate of alcohol consumption? Answer: Four people. The woman in the video doesn't know it, but she is pregnant with twins. Video clip from the public domain. Original text from rosaryfilms of Secret of the Rosary Films.
