What is the condition when there is to much alcohol in the blood?
It depends on what you mean by "too much." When alcohol begins to affect normal functioning, it is called intoxication. As intoxication progresses, the central nervous system becomes less and less able to do its job, finally leading to unconsciousness, possible coma and death, known as alcohol poisoning or acute alcohol intoxication.
What kind of impact on the intoxication rate does mixing alcohol with other drugs have?
The impact of intoxication rate by mixing other drugs with alcohol can vary depending on the drugs used. Mixing Adderall, for instance, with alcohol can mask the effect and make a person seem less intoxicated, when they are in fact at the same level of intoxication as they would be without the drug; this can often lead to alcohol poisoning. Mixing Xanax can increase the effect of both the alcohol and the drug causing dangerous side effects.
Are there other diseases that have similar symptoms as alcohol intoxication?
Yes. But they are far less common. If alcohol is present in the body, it is presumed to be the cause of the symptoms unless proven otherwise. Professionals in the field say, "If you hear hoofbeats in Texas, don't expect zebras."
Is Pepsi haram?
No. Even if it does contain something less than .05% alcohol, drinking it cannot cause intoxication. 100 cans would have less alcohol than one can of beer. Claims that various soft drinks actually contain pork blood are totally urban myths - very few Christians would drink it if it did!
What is the prognosis for hypernatremia?
Mild water intoxication is usually corrected by drinking less than a quart of water a day for several days. Untreated water intoxication can be fatal, but this outcome is quite rare.
Can you have a DWI and get Section 8 housing?
This depends on if you have a pattern of behavior that is consistent with abusing alcohol or other substance. Under federal regulations, one cannot have a section 8 voucher if he is a drug or alcohol abuser, and has a current pattern of behavior of being such. A DWI conviction alone is generally not a disqualifier, unless it is very recent (about two years or less), and the person has a history of alcohol related offenses (open container, disorderly intoxication, public intoxication, and others). However, he can be qualified in his is demonstrating that he is being rehabilitated by virtue of a treatment program related to the substance abuse.
Why use of alcohol is preferred over mercury in thermometers?
Alcohol is less expensive and the compounds formed from oxides of Mercury are poisonous while alcohol is less problematic.
When you drink alcohol you tend to get less inhibited.?
When you drink alcohol, you tend to get less inhibited.
What is the definition of Necessary and sufficient causes?
A necessary cause is a factor that must be present for a certain outcome to occur. A sufficient cause is a factor that alone can produce the outcome. Together, a necessary cause is required for an outcome to happen, while a sufficient cause is enough to bring about the outcome.
Does caffeine help keep the person aware of how intoxicated he or she is?
No. Caffeine does nothing to help a person be aware of how intoxicated he or she is. At most, it will keep them awake when they would otherwise pass out from alcohol intoxication. In that respect, it might make them LESS aware of how intoxicated they are by giving them a distorted perception of being less drunk just because they are a bit more alert.
Which is more reactive and why monohydroxy alcohol or polyhydroxy alcohol?
Monohydroxy alcohol is more reactive because it is less viscous and it exhibits less H bonding of molecules.
What are the good effect of physical change?
Although anyone can become intoxicated while drinking, the alcoholic is less likely to recognize the signs and control his or her intake. Intoxication is produced by alcohol as it circulates in the blood and acts to depress the central nervous system (see depressant). Alcohol can pass directly into the bloodstream. The absorption rate depends principally on the concentration of the drug in the stomach and small intestine. This concentration is limited by the presence of alcohol dehydrogenase. Because women normally carry less alcohol dehydrogenase in their intestines, they usually consume less alcohol than men before showing its effects. Alcohol is not stored in the body or excreted but is metabolized in the liver at a fixed rate of between 0.25 and 0.33 oz (7.1-9.4 grams) per hour, varying with the individual. Thus alcohol is found in the bloodstream and signs of intoxication appear when the rate of alcohol consumption is greater than the rate at which it is metabolized in the liver. At a blood level of about .05%, alcohol impairs concentration, visual function, psychomotor performance, and reaction time. For many years the legal standard for drunkenness in most states was a blood alcohol level of .10%, but in many states it now is .08%. The lethal level, often given as .60%, may be as low as .40% in some people. Blood alcohol concentrations are measured by breath (the Breathalyzer test), blood, or urine tests.
