The rest of the alcohol consumed into by products through the phenomonon of metabolism within our body.

Finding Paragraph #1

How does alcohol affect the body? Does it differ with age?

Alcohol enters the body and it travels to the stomach. About 20% of the alcohol absorbs into the blood stream, through small blood vessels. The other 80% of the alcohol continues to the small intestine and is absorbed there into the blood stream. The more that is consumed the more impaired your speech may become; there also is a lot of hesitation to everything you do. The effects of alcohol depend on the age, gender, education, weight, genetic background, and the families history of alcoholism.

Quote, Paraphrase, Citation #4

Quote; From a very young age, kids see advertising messages showing beautiful people enjoying life — and alcohol. And because many parents and other adults use alcohol socially — having beer or wine with dinner, for example — alcohol seems harmless to many teens.

Paraphrase; Kids see alcohol commercials at young ages and there is never anything negative with the advertisement. This influences kids to go and buy alcoholic beverages with the fantasy that their life will be just as good as the persons life in the advertisement. Alcohol is also consumed in the average house hold. Kids also may pick up the habit from home.

"If people knew that the money was all going to recovery programs, we would have won,
it really, really handicaps us. It really puts a lot of the programs on unstable ground,".

This quote means that all the states money is being put into Alcohol abuse programs and other programs are closing down because of this. Its as if they have no support or foundation.

Quote, Paraphrase, & Citation #1

This quote is very undestandable. Alcoholic beverages can be obtained just about any where; numerous age groups have them. Younger generations think its cool so, they seek ways to get alcohol.
