A study that was recently conducted by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), reported that individuals that drank alcohol after a meal that included fat, protein, and carbohydrates absorbed the alcohol at a rate that was three times slower than if they consumed alcohol on an empty stomach.
Alcohol and drug abuse are both factors in the placement of more than 75% of children entering foster care.
When a pregnant woman consumes alcohol, it passes through the placenta to the growing fetus. Because a developing baby's body breaks down alcohol much more slowly than an adult's, a fetus's blood alcohol level can rise much higher than its mother's and stay elevated longer.
Blood Alcohol Level of .35%: This blood alcohol level also happens to be the level of surgical anesthesia. You may stop breathing at this point. In February 1996, a second student, age 20, died of alcohol poisoning with a BAL of .34% after drinking six beers and twelve shots in two hours.
