Seriously . . . when you DO over-indulge, whether it's on a vacation cruise, a special celebration, or a Friday night habit, you will avoid a lot of hurt tomorrow morning by following a few simple rules.  

                                     But first ... Here's what happens when you drink alcohol.

If you have seen someone who has had too much to drink, you've probably noticed definite changes in that person's performance and behavior. The body responds to alcohol in stages, which correspond to an increase in BAC:

Stage I
Euphoria (BAC = 0.03 to 0.12 percent)

• They become more self-confident or daring
• Their attention span shortens
• They may look flushed
• Their judgement is not as good -- they may say the first thought that comes to mind, rather than an appropriate comment for the given situation
• They have trouble with fine movements, such as writing or signing their name
  

Stage II
Excitement (BAC = 0.09 to 0.25 percent)

• They become sleepy
• They have trouble understanding or remembering things (even recent events)
• They do not react to situations as quickly (if they spill a drink they may just stare at it)
• Their body movements are uncoordinated
• They begin to lose their balance easily
• Their vision becomes blurry
• They may have trouble sensing things (hearing, tasting, feeling, etc.
  Stage III
  Confusion (BAC = 0.18 to 0.30 percent)

• They are confused -- might not know where they are or what they are doing
• They are dizzy and may stagger
• They may be highly emotional - aggressive, withdrawn or overly affectionate
• They cannot see clearly
• They are sleepy
• They have slurred speech
• They have uncoordinated movements (trouble catching an object thrown to them)
• They may not feel pain as readily as a sober person
  

• There's not point to continue drinking after this point.  And the damage it does to your system is multiplied. 
• Stage IV

Stupor (BAC = 0.25 to 0.4 percent)
They can barely move at all.

• They can barely move at all
• They cannot respond to stimuli
• They cannot stand or walk
• They may vomit
• They may lapse in and out of consciousness

Stage V
Coma (BAC = 0.35 to 0.50 percent)

• They are unconscious
• Their reflexes are depressed (i.e. their pupils do not respond appropriately to changes in light)
• They feel cool (lower-than-normal body temperature)
• Their breathing is slower and more shallow
• Their heart rate may slow
• They may die
  
  

Stage VI
Death (BAC more than 0.50 percent) - The person usually stops breathing and dies.

SO . . Stop drinking before Stage IV - ALWAYS

A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY

KNOW THE AMOUNTS

Knowing how much alcohol constitutes a “standard” drink can help you determine how much you are drinking and understand the risks. One standard drink contains about 0.6 fluid ounces or 14 grams of pure alcohol. In more familiar terms, the following amounts constitute one standard drink: 

• 12 fluid ounces of beer (about 5% alcohol)
• 8 to 9 fluid ounces of malt liquor (about 7% alcohol)
• 5 fluid ounces of table wine (about 12% alcohol)
• 1.5 fluid ounces of hard liquor (about 40% alcohol)

                             A Hangover Cure is good.  Prevention is Better . . . however

There are natural aids on the market which replenish key nutrients lost during alcohol consumption.  But, we've found 
a product that goes one very important step further.  

           Alcotox reduces Acetaldehyde
                            by 86%

              Have some on hand.  Your body will thank you.

        Never heard of Acetaldehyde?? . . . neither had we.
    Turns out it's something you don't want to hang out with.   

Acetaldehyde - 30 times more toxic than alcohol itself
           It damages cells, tissue and alters DNA
                        It is a known carcinogen

No wonder your body wants to get rid of it!
