RED RIBBON WEEK
Red ribbon week is all about raising awareness to the amount of drug and alcohol use in teens, the dangers that occur and the consequences that await these choices.
Alcohol is the most widely used-and abused- drug in
AmericaAlcohol related high way deaths are the number one killer of 15 to 24 year olds.
The rate of current alcohol use among youths ages 12-17 declined from 17.6 % in 2004 to 16.5 % in 2005. Youth binge drinking also declined during that period, from 11.1% to 9.9%.
Drinking coffee will not help sober up a drunk person. Alcohol leaves the body of virtually everyone at a constant rate of about .015 percent of blood alcohol content (BAC) per hour. Thus, a person with BAC of .015 would be completely sober in an hour while a person with a BAC of ten times that (.15) would require 10 hours too become completely sober. This is true regardless of sex, age, weight, and similar factors.
