to the student handout, “What’s Your Alcohol IQ?”
The answers are in bold type and underlined.
1. Alcohol is a stimulant.
TRUE
FALSE
CEREBRAL
CORTEX—Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. It can
appear to be a stimulant because, initially, it depresses the part of the brain that
controls inhibitions.
2. Under the influence of alcohol, everything may appear to be fuzzy; drinkers may
slur their words and have difficulty hearing, tasting, and smelling.
TRUE
FALSE
CEREBRAL
CORTEX—Alcohol slows down the cerebral cortex as it works with
information from your senses.
3. Under the influence of alcohol, a drinker’s ability to think, speak, and move may
slow way down.
TRUE
FALSE
CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM—When you think of something you want your
body to do, the central nervous system—the brain and the spinal cord—sends a
signal to that part of the body. Alcohol slows down the central nervous system,
making you think, speak, and move slower.
4. Under the influence of alcohol, drinkers are usually calm, thoughtful, and
easygoing.
TRUE
FALSE
FRONTAL
LOBES—When alcohol affects the frontal lobes of the brain, you may
find it hard to control your emotions and urges. You may act without thinking or
even become violent. Drinking alcohol over a long period of time can damage the
frontal lobes forever.
5. Drinking alcohol over a long period of time may damage a person’s self-control
and ability to plan, think, and make decisions.
TRUE
FALSE
FRONTAL
LOBES—The brain’s frontal lobes are important for planning, forming
ideas, making decisions, and using self-control. Drinking alcohol over a long
period of time can damage the frontal lobes forever.
