body to sleep but you sleep while breathing
slower and having a lower body temp—which
can all be life threatening.

temperature, but when affected by alcohol its

An excess amount of alcohol in the brain can
trigger what automatic response?
A.

when to expel dangerous amounts of alcohol.
Remember, the body views alcohol as a poison
and will protect itself from high amounts of it!

Why would smaller people be affected by
alcohol more quickly than larger people?
A.

blood. This does not give the alcohol as much
space to be diluted in as it would it larger
people with more blood.
