Over 40% of teens surveyed who admitted drinking said they drink alcohol when they are upset; 31% said they drink alcohol alone; 25% said they drink alcohol when they are bored; and 25% said they drink alcohol to "get high."
College students that were reported to be heavy and frequent drinkers were at the highest risk for experiencing alcohol-related harms, according to the Task Force of the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
Blood Alcohol Level of .20%: You feel confused, dazed, or otherwise disoriented. You need help to stand up or walk. If you hurt yourself at this point, you probably won't realize it because you won't feel pain. If you are aware you've injured yourself, chances are you won't do anything about it. At this point you may experience nausea and/or start vomiting (keep in mind that for some people, a lower blood alcohol level than .20% may cause vomiting). Your gag reflex is impaired, so you could choke if you do throw up. Since blackouts are likely at this level, you may not remember any of this.
Older adults reach higher blood levels of alcohol even when drinking the same amount as younger people.
