Once there is one drop of alcohol to every 1500 drops of your blood, you're drunk. Continued drinking after that can soon make you pass out. In other words, it takes only a few drinks to get drunk.

    Many people think alcohol peps you up. That's not true. Alcohol really slows you down. The more you drink, the more you slow down. But alcohol often does make you act jovial and happy. That's because alcohol loosens your self-control. Sometimes you do things you would never do when sober. You take chances. That can be dangerous, especially when you're driving.
