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


Drink driving is one of the most common causes of major accidents, factors is number or people killed and injured on our roads.
I think that it is a bad reason to drink and drive because they can’t think straight when they are drunk. Like for instance going to a party, someone should be the sober driver and pick up there mates so they don’t drink and drive so the risks of them being in an accident is nil.

If you are planning to have a party make sure you have no one driving when they have had too much to drink. My advice would be to take people in a van to take every one home in. If you are drinking you are likely to crash it might be one or more drink you might feel a bit tips.

If you drink and drive with alcohol and if get pulled over by a cop the fine is up to $1000 to $2000.

names




Over the last week we were given a sheet and told to practise designing and displaying words in a creative way. For example if we wanted to write the word "look" we would write it then decorate the lettering with eye balls for the os.
On the left you can see the work I have done. I didn't find it to difficult really, just had a little trouble thinking of new ways to show and put across my ideas. I think this would be a good way of catching someones eye. It would get them interested in the image then wanting to see what the poster (or something else along those lines) was about. You don't really need a lot of talent either or even a computer.

women and acohol

Women and Acohol
Women and AlcoholShe 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.Source: www.alcohol.org.nz 24 July 2000
