Alcohol myths: True or False?
![Page 3: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Can drinking make you warmer?
![Page 4: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
FALSE. A swig of alcohol might initially make you feel warmer, but drinking any alcoholic beverage actually lowers your core body temperature. It sends blood to your skin, which will make you feel warm and flushed,
but causes you to lose body heat. You could suffer from hypothermia and not even feel it. Alcohol can also
cause dehydration and impair your judgment, which can make matters even worse.

Do men have a higher tolerance for alcohol than women?

TRUE. Due to physiological differences, a woman will absorb up to 30 percent more alcohol into her
bloodstream than a man of the same height and weight drinking the same amount of alcohol. Compared to
men, women tend to have a higher percentage of body fat, which does not absorb alcohol, and a lower percentage of water, which does -- resulting in a
greater concentration of alcohol in the blood. Men also have a greater quantity of an enzyme in their stomachs
that breaks down alcohol before it enters the
bloodstream.

A beer flood in 1814 killed 9 people.
![Page 8: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
TRUE. On Oct. 17, 1814, a ruptured tank at the Meux and Company Brewery in London unleashed over
323,000 imperial gallons of beer when one vat gave way, causing others to succumb. It flooded the streets
knocked down walls, flooded basements, and demolished 2 houses and a pub.
Eight people drowned. The ninth died of alcohol poisoning the next day.

Sucking on a penny or putting it under your tongue will help you pass a Breathalyzer test if you've
been drinking.
![Page 10: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
FALSE. Whoever came up with this idea either had a very weak grasp of science or was playing a joke on someone. There is no truth to the rumor that the copper in a penny will somehow affect the results of a Breathalyzer test. It just doesn't
make any “cents…”

Taking a Cold shower, drinking coffee or going for a run will sober
you up faster.
![Page 12: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
FALSE. There are no shortcuts to sobriety. No amount of black coffee, cold showers, exercise, or water will
speed up the process. Your body processes alcohol at a constant rate of approximately .015 percent of blood
alcohol content per hour, regardless of gender, weight, height, age, etc. (approximately 1 drink per hour).
Only time will sober you up.

Beer does not have as much alcohol as hard liquor.
![Page 14: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
FALSE. A 12-ounce bottle of beer has the same amount of alcohol as a standard shot of 80-proof liquor (either straight or in a mixed drink)
or 5 ounces of wine.
![Page 15: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Beer Before Liquor, you’ll get sicker.
Liquor before beer, you’re in the clear.
![Page 16: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
FALSE. If this were true, no one would ever have a bad morning after. The fact is, it doesn't matter what type of liquor you drink, the percentage of alcohol in your
blood, or your blood alcohol content (BAC), is the real factor in how drunk you get. A single serving of beer or wine and a shot of liquor all contain the same amount of alcohol. Too much of any combination
will make you sick.

Alcohol kills brain cells.
![Page 18: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
FALSE. During the temperance movement, it was often said that alcohol could kill
brain cells. Throughout the decades, this myth has persisted, but scientific research
has shown that the moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with better cognitive skills and memory than
abstaining from alcohol. In other words, moderate drinking actually improves
thinking, reasoning and memory.

People that don’t drink are not totally “alcohol free”.
![Page 20: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
TRUE. Every person produces alcohol normally in the body 24 hours each and every day from birth until death. Therefore, we
always have alcohol in our bodies.
![Page 21: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Girly drinks, or diet drinks don’t actually get you drunk.
![Page 22: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
FALSE. A study done by Chris Rayner, M.C. from the Royal
Adelaide Hospital in Australia showed that diet drinks could
actually get you more drunk. This is due to the lack of calories in the
drink, which will cause it to empty into your stomach faster, thus
getting you drunk faster.

Champagne makes you more drunk.
![Page 24: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
TRUE. Champagne bubbles open your pyloric valve through your intestines and move the alcohol
into your bloodstream quicker. The carbon dioxide in the bubbles helps alcohol flow through the
body at an accelerated pace. This in turn helps you get intoxicated
much quicker.

Beer makes you dehydrated.
![Page 26: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
TRUE. Beer causes you to become bloated, thus not
giving you enough room to stay hydrated. Beer also
causes you to urinate more, thus becoming more
dehydrated.
![Page 27: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Alcohol can age your face.
![Page 28: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
TRUE. Alcohol dehydrates your skin, which causes
wrinkles. While the alcohol is in your body it'll stimulate
water retention, however line formation can come from the
absence of that water.
![Page 29: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The more you drink, the greater your tolerance.
![Page 30: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
TRUE. The more your liver is exposed to alcohol, the harder it works against
it. Your liver can be damaged by alcohol, thus reducing it's ability to breakdown alcohol before it enters
your bloodstream. Long term, a high tolerance, which can be seen by some college students’ as a desired quality can actually lead to alcoholism and
cirrhosis of the liver.

Alcohol is not always bad for your body.
![Page 32: Submitted by Lindsey, SUNY Geneseo I put these facts on a folded piece of paper (like a horizontal birthday card) for a fun interactive bulletin board](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55148edf550346d36e8b50f4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
TRUE. In moderation alcohol can help your heart, strengthen your bones and prevent against
osteoporosis, gallstones, ulcers, kidney stones, some cancer, and diabetes. Also, moderate drinkers
tend to have better health and live longer than those who are either abstainers or heavy drinkers.
In addition to having fewer heart attacks and strokes, moderate consumers of alcoholic
beverages (beer, wine or distilled spirits or liquor) are generally less likely to suffer hypertension or high blood pressure, peripheral artery disease,
Alzheimer's disease and the common cold.
