What are the reasons it is so dangerous to drink and drive?

One of the main reasons it is dangerous to dive is because you are endangering your life and the lives of others. Drinking can also effect your decisions; it can make you take chances that you wouldn’t normally take while you are sober, maybe going over the speed limit on sharp corners, or maybe taking on the car at the intersection. This can all end in tragedy for you and the other driver.
If you chose to drink and drive, you are endangering the lives of your passengers, even if you are unaware of the consequences of your actions which most people try to ignore but can’t ignore those cold hard facts.
Would you like to be on the receiving end of a drink driving accident? Knowing that that drunk driver could have taken a taxi home or slept there, which could have saved that family members life, how would you feel knowing that you’re the one to blame, that this all happened because you were under the influence of alcohol. Yes you would feel bad you would try to apologize or maybe you to cowardly to do that? To cowardly to pay your respects to the person’s family that you have killed or severely injured.
Most people don’t even think twice about drink driving until it happens to them or a close family member because they think nah this wont happen to me but the fact is it could and one night when you least expect it, you could be the one in the news paper the next morning with the headlines reading Fatal accident ‘drunk driver’ or Drunk driver kills family. Do you want to be responsible for someone’s death or your own which could have been prevented by taking a taxi home? Or walking?
Next time you are at a party and you are aware you are going to drink and drive you should stop and think about how many lives you are putting at risk how many people will be hurt if you swerve out of control and hit an oncoming car and kill someone.

Women and Acohol Assesment 90030

Women and Alcohol

She has a glass or two of wine and feels it go straight to her head. He has the same amount to drink and feels fine.

Researchers confirm something many women have always suspected- it takes less alcohol for a woman to feel tipsy than it does for a man, and it’s not all to do with body size. Even if a woman is the same weight as a man and drinks the same amount of alcohol, she will end up with a blood alcohol level a third higher than his. It will also take a third longer for her body to eliminate the alcohol from her blood.

Why alcohol affects women more than men and is potentially more harmful is one of a number of topics covered in a booklet produced by the Alcohol Advisory Council.

Alcohol affects women more than men because women have a higher proportion of body fat and less water in their bodies than men. This means that once it is in the bloodstream of a woman, the alcohol is not as diluted and has a stronger affect. So even if a woman is the same size as a man, she will generally be affected more quickly and feel the effects for much longer than the man will.

Both males and females have an enzyme in their stomach designed to process alcohol into a safer substance, yet for reasons that are not clear to scientist, this enzyme is 70-80 percent more effective in men than women. If the liver of a healthy young women is compared with that of a healthy young man, it will generally take her liver longer to process one drink than his, and a person starts to feel drunk when they drink alcohol faster then their liver can process it.

New Zealand research has found more women are drinking and the amount of alcohol consumed by women is increasing. Young women are also drinking more, and what is particularly concerning is that a significant proportion of young women are adopting a pattern of drinking similar to their male counterparts- that is, consuming large amounts of alcohol in one go.

Other topics included in the booklet are alcohol and women’s health, alcohol and sex, alcohol and pregnancy and alcohol and breastfeeding. There is also a guide to how much it too much and a section in getting help and advice.

Font Personalities

To the left you can see some of the work i have done. We got given a piece of paper with some words on it and we had to be creative. I didn't find it that hard to think of somethings but I thought that I should have been a bit more imaginative.
To do things like this you don't need to be the most creative person or have the most flash utensils, just a piece of paper and a pen.
