Alcohol absorption

(8.4)easily absorbed thru GI tract, 20% into bloodstream from stomach, 80% from upper portion of small intestine. Small amts first act as irritant increasing chemicals(like pepsin) that aid in digestion. large irritates stomach lining. Ulcers for heavy drinkers.

ACUTE PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS

(8.6) Toxic reactions, heat loss, diuretic effects, sleep probs, adverse consequences of pregnancy, drug interactions, hangovers

SEX

(8.7.4) Effects of alcohol is because of expectations of what alcohol should do rather than actual physiological effects of alcohol

Process of alcohol breakdown is OXIDATION. 2 steps:

(8:4:1)Oxidation has 2 steps: 1. enzyme, called ALCOHOL DEHYDROGENASE breaks down alcohol into ACETALDEHYDE. This enzyme is in stomach. where 20% is broken down before absorption in bloodstream. Enzyme is also in liver where remaining 80% is broken down from accumulations in the blood. 2nd step of oxidation happens when another enzyme called ACETALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE breaks down acetaldehyde in the liver into ACETIC ACID. From there, further oxidation results in O2, CO2, and calories of energy. OXIDATION RATE is 1/3rd to 1/2 oz per hour for adults

BAC

(8:4:2) number of grams of alcohol in blood relative to 100 millimeters of blood expressed as a percentage. Alcohol is burned at .015% per hour. So you would compute the BAC for your weight and subtract 0.015 percent BAC for every hour since drinking started.

DIURETIC EFFECTS

(8:63) At first the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) that normally acts to reabsorb water in the kidneys, is inhibited when alcohol concentration rises. As a result, you pee a lot. As BAC peaks, the reverse happens. Water is retained, hands, fingers, feet swell. The ADH inhibition is dangerous when exercise is vigorous and fluid levels are already low.

HaNGOVERS

(8:6:7) 4 to 12 hrs after heavy consumption. Some distilled spirits like VODKA have lower prob of hangovers. Why? Lower amts of congers which are by-products of fermentation and give drinks their smell, taste, and color. Ex: tannins in wine.

DARP; looked at clients enrolled in treatment programs between 1969 and 1972. It concluded that drug treatment programs were effective in improving post-treatment performance with respect to drug use, criminality, and productive activities.

Stomach Full =

Delayed absorption. Alcohol stays in stomach along with food and passage of alcohol into small intestine slows down.

intensification model

amends both enslavement and predisposition models; half the ppl who become addicts were already criminals beforehand, and there is no time relation between crime and drug use to be made, and criminals and drug users definitely overlap; however after stopping drug use, crimes committed by once-addicts always go down; DRUG USE INTENSIFIES CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR

legalization worst-case scenario

prescription and maintenance model

How long does it take for inhaled nicotine to reach the brain? (Figure 8-2). Does it accumulate

Hits brain almost immediately and does not fall, so yes it accumulates.

DISINHIBITION THEORY

Holds that drinking alcohol impairs normal cortical mechanisms responsible for inhibiting the expression of innate or suppressed aggressive inclinations.

ALCOHOL MYOPIA THEORY

Holds that intoxicated people are limited in their capacity to process info, so that they focus only on the most salient cues in their environment. So..alcohol reduces ability to attend to all subtle social cues that would lead to appropriate behavior

COGNITIVE EXPECTATION THEORY

Holds that learned beliefs or expectations about alcohol's effects can facilitate aggressive behaviors. Idea that violence is induced by the act of drinking in combination with one's personal view of how person is supposed to respond, rather than by the actual pharm effects

Legally, are cigarettes drugs? Drug delivery vehicles? Can the FDA regulate nicotine in cigarettes as drugs?

It can regulate nicotine if their is a public health concern. Legally they are not a drug

Why people think of alcohol as a STIMULANT

It is CNS depressant, but at low doses, it releases the prefrontal cortex from inhibitory control over subcortical systems in the brain. Kinda like a double negative. So alcohol is depressing a part of the brain that would normally be an inhibitor and the result of this disinhibition would be the illusion of stimulation.

How does nicotine replacement therapy and bupropion help with quitting smoking?

It slowly releases nicotine into the body and a diminishing rate.

A part of the FDA drug approval process is the determination that the drug is effective at treating some disorder and that it is safe. A thought question: If nicotine delivered through cigarettes (or snuff or vaping) were reviewed as a "drug" what would be your determination of its safety and of its efficacy

It's not safe and doesn't really treat anything (with an efficacy at least)

Tina and Jane both consumed eight alcoholic beverages during their pregnancy. Tina drank two alcoholic beverages per week during the first month of her pregnancy. Jane drank all eight beverages on the same weekend during the first month of her pregnancy. From this information, it is reasonable to conclude that

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING

Know how much you were drinking, chose beer or wine over liquor, drink slowly(1 drink per hr), sip your drinks, don't cluster your drinks, eat while drinking and avoid salty foods. Drink only when already relaxed. When you drink, savor the experience. NEVER DRINK ALONE. Watch unfamiliar drinks.

ALCOHOl and keeping WARM

Respiration increases, muscular tremors, inhibition of some reflexs.Promotes release of norepinephrine Arousal Reticular activating system in brainstem Increased respiration (medulla) Overdose—respiratory arrest due to over-stimulation) Vomiting center (brainstem) Tolerance develops Promotes release of dopamine Nicotinic receptor found on dopamine cells in VTA Not reinforcing in knockout mice that do not have these receptors

drug treatment outcome study (DATOS)

Study like (___) that looked at treatment programs between 1991 and 1993. It confirmed the findings of (___) in regards to treatment programs working. Its going on today in 11 cities.

BALANCED PLACEBO DESIGN

Subjects are randomly divided in 4 groups. 2 groups are given an alcoholic drink. One group is told it is alcohol and the other group is told that they have non-alcoholic drink that tastes and smells like alcohol. Beliefs about drug effects are more influential than physiological effects. So what one is told is more important than what one consumes. To be a true test of cognitive expectation theory, a balanced placebo design can't be used with BAC levels over 0.035% because subjects are no longer fooled. And..most alcohol related violence happen at BAC levels 6 times higher.
