I teach responsible alcohol consumption through a set of practical procedures and guidelines.RTShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11598338724909922738noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025959464549201581.post-72370366571518306432009-04-03T21:02:00.000-07:002009-04-05T19:34:57.513-07:00The incidents of alcohol poisoning have risen dramatically in the past several years, with those of young girls increasing much more sharply than those of young men. In fact, the final episode of ER showcased the alcohol poisoning of a young girl.<br />Doing shots of hard liquor frequently associated with some type of game is often the cause. The body just cannot keep up with that type of rapid alcohol intake. A shot, 1.5 oz, can be ingested in a second, yet it can take the body a full hour to metabolize that shot. Doing several shots in a row really puts the body behind in this metabolism process.<br />The moral of the story is: Don't do shots, they don't taste good, they're a waste of good liquor, and people usually do them when they're already drunk. Most importantly, they may be the last thing you ever drink.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4025959464549201581-7237036657151830643?l=clearthinkingwhendrinking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RTShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11598338724909922738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025959464549201581.post-27482453641085449552009-04-03T19:24:00.000-07:002009-04-03T20:12:22.547-07:00I had an interesting weekend doing an alcohol harm reduction seminar at Cornell University for the Creating Chapters of Excellence program. Three fraternities were in attendance: Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Gamma Delta, and Theta Delta Chi. It was a lot of fun.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4025959464549201581-2748245364108544955?l=clearthinkingwhendrinking.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RTShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11598338724909922738noreply@blogger.com0
