ALCOHOL - Click To Buy Guardian Angel Alcohol Test GuardianAngel.com was created in 2000 to fill a need for personal alcohol test strips: patented, affordable, and 99% accuracy in field tests performed by the California Highway Patrol. Alcoholism has the following four symptoms:
In addition to injury related to alcohol intake, there is work loss, and social disruption. Alcohol is one of the world's most popular drugs and the most common cause of disabling injuries and great financial loss. Intoxication Intoxication means "to poison yourself" and is the poisoning of the body with alcohol or other drugs which could cause stupefaction and/or excitement. Would you ever drive while intoxicated? Whether your answer is "yes" or "no", please read the following information. If driving while intoxicated, the least of your concerns should be losing your license, getting arrested or going to jail. Of greater concern should be the possibility of killing other people and/or yourself. Alcohol Beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages, all have the same effect of depressing the central nervous system. This causes the bodily functions that are controlled by the brain to slow down. These include the ability to have good judgement, your reasoning skills, memory retention, slurring of speech, controlled muscle movements and your emotional stability. When alcohol intake is low, the drinker feels relaxed and less inhibited and is enjoying themselves. This state also puts the alcohol in control of decision making, causing less responsible actions on the part of the person drinking. This would be the time to take the Guardian Angel alcohol test, before progressing with more alcohol intake. Alcohol Effects and Driving:
Drinking and Driving At least 60% of people killed between midnight and 4 a.m.are due to alcohol related crashes. Approximately 25 cents of every $1.00 you spend for auto insurance is used to pay for damage caused by drunk drivers. Not to mention the cost to you, as an individual. (See chart below) How Do You Know When You Have Had ENOUGH Most people ask someone who is out with them and is possibly drinking as well. Mmmmm - if drinking causes impaired judgement and you both are drinking - well, asking your friend or someone who is also drinking, is not the best choice for getting a good indication of your level of intoxication. You should test yourself for your blood alcohol content (BAC) using a quick self testing device such as the Guardian Angel alcohol test strips. They are easy to use, have quick results and are affordable. Alcohol Absorption into the Bloodstream There are several factors that determine the rate of alcohol absorption into the bloodstream, and those are time, body weight and stomach contents. TIME - The liver helps with alcohol metabolism and can process approximately one ounce of alcohol an hour in someone who has a good liver. The rate of metabolism is different for men and women. After ingestion of one ounce of alcohol, it would take a man approximately one hour and 15 minutes to return to a BAC of 0.00 and with a woman it would take approximately one hour and 30 minutes. The average body can metabolize approximately 0.015% blood alcohol per hour. BODY WEIGHT - Generally, the bigger you are, the more alcohol you can absorb before becoming intoxicated. Since this is not always the case, it would be best to test yourself when you start "feeling good" to make sure you don't drink too much. The Guardian Angel alcohol test strips would be easy to use and give you a quick result. STOMACH CONTENTS - An empty stomach will allow the alcohol to absorb more quickly into the bloodstream and your ability to become intoxicated happens quickly. Drinking alcohol on a full stomach will slow down the alcohol absorption into the bloodstream, but you will still get the same level of intoxication that you would with an empty stomach - it will just take longer for you to feel the effects.  Our bodies metabolize alcohol through chemical breakdown and this occurs at a steady rate. A small amount of alcohol is excreted through sweat and urine leaving the body, but not enough to make a difference in the level of intoxication. Some people think that exercise, hot coffee or cold showers help "get rid of" the alcohol. But these things just help keep the body awake, it does not help metabolize the alcohol. See the chart below for approximate hours it takes to return to a blood alcohol content level of zero after drinking, based on gender and body weight. Test yourself, test your friends - drink responsibly and be safe instead of sorry. The Guardian Angel test strips are affordable and easy to use.
