Blood Alcohol Level of .05%-.06%: You feel warm and relaxed. If you're the shy type when you're sober, you lose your feelings of shyness. Your behavior may become exaggerated, making you talk louder or faster or act bolder than usual. Emotions are intensified, so your good moods are better and your bad moods are worse. You may also feel a mild sense of euphoria.
Alcohol rapidly moves to the brain and passes the blood-brain barrier, which normally keeps harmful substances away from the brain; upon entering the brain, alcohol affects the neurons, causing judgment and coordination problems.
Driving under the influence of alcohol is one of the most serious dangers of alcohol use; over half a million people are injured in the U.S. every year in alcohol-related crashes, which is an average of 59 people per hour or approximately one person every minute.
Alcoholism can be a way to deal with stress, anxiety and other feelings; many alcoholics tend to develop certain drinking rituals, which can be a part of what sets the stage for an alcohol addiction; an example of this is having a drink every night before or after dinner.
