kNOwDRINKING.net Radio Ad: Watch Your BAC (Blood Alcohol Content)

Did you know that you should watch your BAC (blood alcohol content)?  Did you know that alcohol is a drug?  Alcohol is a drug that acts as a depressant, and sobering up takes a long time.  The Garrett County Health Department Prevention Team wants you to THINK. PLAN. ACT. WATCH YOUR BAC. 

A healthy liver breaks down less than one standard drink per hour.  The only thing that will lower your BAC once it is increased is TIME.  

Think about how you will pace yourself to keep your BAC low- such as keeping track of how many alcoholic drinks you are consuming, or alternating them with water throughout the night.

Always eat before and during a night out, and remain in control of your situation.

Know your limit. It’s O.K to say when you’ve had enough.
