FOREWORD
The State Department of Education cooperates with all groups in developing
programs which will provide the best educational possibilities for each indi-
vidual. We believe that every individual has the right to grow to the highest
and bcst of which he is capable of becoming, and he has the obligation to assist
his fellows in a like pursuit.
In reaching such a goal the individual must develop an inner strength that
will not only fortify him against the hurts, losses and frustrations that are a
part of daily living, but will also render him capable of enjoying the fullness
of life.
Appreciation is expressed to all persons who assisted in the preparation of
this manuscript and particularly to Miss Katie Sue Echols, Consultant, Narcotics
Education, who assumed leadership for the development of plans and programs to
insure its satisfactory completion.
The material from the textbooks was compiled by the members of the Narcotics
Education classes at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, and at
Stetson University, DeLand, Florida, during the summer of 1947. This material
appeared in the first issue of this bulletin in the fall of 1947.
During the summer of 1948, the Narcotics Education class at the University
of Florida added the material from the textbooks that were adopted in 1948.
They also evaluated this material according to recent scientific findings. They
were assisted by four primary and elementary teachers from the Putnam County
Workshop that was being held on the campus. Grateful acknowledgment is expressed
to the following students and teachers for their earnest and thorough work:
Mr. Don-Lee Auleb, Mr. Henry VT. Bishop, Mrs. Olive C. Boyles, Mr. Charles F.
Gribble, Mr. James E. Freeman, Miss Dessie H. Hussey, Mrs. Dora Lowery, Mr. James
R. Powell, Mr. Philip Kingsley Schmidt, Mr. Edwin Shuler, Mr. Arthur H. Smith,
Mrs. Ayleen Smith, Mrs. Eddie Lee Smith, Miss Marion E. Stephens, Mrs. Charlene
S. Strawn, Mr. Eugene L. Taylor., Mrs. Lucile C. Tucker, Mrs. Addie B.'Wheeler,
Miss Vaflita Baldwin, Miss Myrle Eloise Bryant, Mr. Kelsey Blanton, Jr., Mr. Earl'
Cochran, Mr. Frank Ocele Flack, Jr., Miss Helef Douglas, Mrs. Cecil B. Culpepper,

The Department of Narcotics Education seeks to present the best scientific
information available as to the true effects of such substances on the indi-
vidual and on society as a contribution toward the developing of forceful, well-
rounded personalities capable of objective, scientific evaluation of self. This
bulletin has been prepared to assist teachers ahd other groups in providing a
program of narcotics education which is based on scientific information.
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
INTRODUCTION
In many areas of teaching material beyond the experience and understanding
of the child has been repeated over and over in the texts through the primary
and elementary grades. It tends to make the child feel that "he has had that"
and to dislike the subject, thus he may not be willing to study the material
when it does come within his interest range. This is true concerning the mate-
rial about alcohol, narcotics and stimulants.
In the early years the teacher's effort in the area of health is to help
the child learn desirable eating habits that are necessary for the best growth,
acquire the ability to become an accepted member of his group through good work
and play habits, and develop the ability to make worthy decisions for himself.
In teaching about the things that promote and hinder growth some discus-
sion will naturally follow concerning tobacco, alcohol, kola drinks, tea and
coffee. We do not go into detail with the elementary child as to how milk makes
him grow. Why should we tell him at great length how alcohol and narcotics hin-
der his growth? If we do not force this material upon him before he is ready
for it we may be able to lead him to investigate the facts for himself later.
This will then become a real learning experience.
In this as in all areas the teacher's knowledge must far exceed that which
the child can comprehend. She needs a fund of knowledge that will make her
feel secure in directing the thinking of the child toward the answering of his
own questions which arise out of personal experience and community and national
current events.
Our purpose here is to help the teacher secure the best information in this
field for her own growth and to evaluate the material in the texts in light of
recent scientific findings.
In the analysis of Florida's state adopted textbooks that follows, Dr. Roe's
(1) book has been consulted often. An outline of the material on alcohol and
narcotics from each state adopted textbook is given and certain suggestions are
made as to the appropriateness of the material for the grade level and tho
scientific accuracy of the subject matter. The health, science and social stud-
ies books that went out of adoption in 1948 and a few other supplementary books
are included.
Primary and Elementary Grades
In the American Health Series for the primary and elementary grades
the state adopted books are of the 1942 edition. The books were revised
in 1948. The additions or deletions made in the newer revision have been
indicated.
All references in these books to alcohol and tobacco are outlined in
this bulletin. The first mention of these topics is found in the third
grade book. Comments are made to assist the teacher in using this material.
- 1 -
The Burkard, Chambers, and IvMaroney series that went out of adoption two
years ago seem muchto detailed for elementary students and have some of the
common errors listed in this introduction. Outlines of the material in the
fourth and sixth grade books of that series are included in this bulletin.
Junior and Senior High School Grades
Good material in large part is -given in the junior and senior high
school science and health texts.
The social studies books have very little material in this area.
Problems related to alcohol, narcotics and stimulants are vital factors
in our social structure and they should be so taught. Inasmuch as such
material has been omitted from the textbooks the teacher wvri need to
supplement the material. You and Alcohol (6), Accident Facts (7), and
Traffic in Opium (8) will be of help here. In this connection, Dr. Roe (1)
says:
"It has been my observation that our high schools do an
excellent job of interesting children at these ages in social
problems, and the schools should not miss the opportunity of
making clear the effects of inebriety on the community and the
steps which communities could and should take to deal with the
problems of alcohol."
Errors That Are Being Corrected in the Field of Alcohol Study
The Yale School of Alcohol Studies under the direction of Dr. E. M.
Jellinck has taken the lead in scientific investigation in the study of
alcohol. The results of their investigations are bearing fruit in greatly
improved materials appearing in textbooks. Some of the outstanding of
these errors that still appear in some texts are listed here as a group.
Attention is called to them again at the appropriate places in the out-
lines.
1. Diseases are caused by alcohol Every type of body diffi-
culty has been blamed on alcohol as, hardening of the arteries,
sclerosis of the liver, destruction of brain cells, and the causing
of fat in heart muscles. All evidence points to the fact that these
ailments are caused by vitamin deficiency which usually occurs in
the excessive drinker. Dr. Roe (1) says, "To teach this correctly
does not exonerate the alcohol habit but contributes to sound ped-
agogy."
In a few writings social disease has been attributed to alco-
hol. There is no doubt that the person under the influence of
alcohol is in more danger of becoming exposed to venereal disease, but
it is inaccurate to say that alcohol causes venereal disease.
2. Overstatement The tendency in .alcohol teaching has been
to make statistics and stories as large as possible. "The inaccurate
a 2.
statements may be motivated by a fear that unless the largest possible
figure is given, the impression created will not be strong enough to
act as a deterrent. All that can be said about the true consequences
of inebriety is sufficiently grave and does not require exaggerated
enforcement. The latter, in the long run, tends to discredit the
teaching," Dr. Roe (1).
3. Alcohol as a poison Particular care should be taken in using
the word poison when speaking to small children about alcohol. If they
see their parents drink alcoholic beverages with no apparent harm to
them, it sets up confusion in the mind of the child. He may discredit
all teaching about alcohol and about poisons.
"The chief fault to be found with all the discussions of alcohol
as a poison is the complete disregard, in practically all of the
textbooks, of the question of amount. The toxic effects of alcohol
are limited to those amounts which bring about certain concentrations
in the blood. The fault here lies not so much with the textbook writers
themselves,'but with the habit, into which many writers on alcohol
have fallen, of speaking of the effects of alcohol without reference
to quantities. That alcohol in large amounts produces death is a
fact; it does not, however, follow that any amount of alcohol is toxic,"
Dr. Roe (1).
4. Amount In many writings concerning alcohol there is no
reference to the amount of alcohol necessary to produce certain
psychological and physiological effects in the body. This, too, may
set up conflict in the mind of the child who sees his parents drink.
"The actual facts about the misuse of alcohol are sufficiently
disturbing. They do not need embellishing, and to do so is not only
pedagogically unsound, but unwise as well, since it is likely to
result in ultimate defeat of the purpose for which it was done.
"Although a few textbooks do, in some places, distinguish between
the drinking of small amounts and excessive drinking, they rarely
manage to keep this distinction throughout their discussions, but
tend to slip into indiscriminate generalizations. It is well known
that the immediate effects of alcohol vary with the amount in the
blood stream. This is not a difficult concept to teach, and it is
an important one, since disregard of it renders much of the teaching
in the subject meaningless and inculcates sloppy habits of thought.
This particular error permeates almost all of the discussions of the
physiological and psychological aspects. It is certainly much more
the function of our schools to teach precise and logical habits of
thought than to promote the acceptance of a particular solution of
the problem. Whether or not prohibition is the best solution of the
problem, it should be presented only as one of the possible solutions,"
Dr. Roe (1).
5. Alcohol as a stimulant Scientists now agree that alcohol
-3 -
is a depressant and not a stimulant. Most of the texts have stated
that fact, but not all have explained that the feeling of exhiliration
that follows a drink is due to the "taking off the brakes." One
feels relaxed and at ease because his higher brain centers have been
anesthetized and his judgment and self-criticism are lessened. He
feels better than he is. It is well to explain this semblance of
stimulation to high school students.
6. Confusion of terms The scientific studies in alcohol are
new, and the use of terms has not been fully established. The use of
the term narcotic with relation to alcohol is one of these. Dr. Howard
W. Haggard (2) of Yale, one of the foremost scientists in the subject,
thinks that alcohol is an anesthetic. "An anesthetic, is a volatile
substance which, when inhaled, depresses and abolishes the functions
of the brain in descending order." The general term, depressant, may
be the better one to use.
Howard E. Hamlin (3) says in Alcohol Talks from the Laboratory,
"MR. ALCOHOL: .........I am often called a narcotic, but recent
interpretation would classify me more accurately as an ANESTHETIC.
Narcotics, strictly speaking, are chemicals for which the body develops
a 'tolerance.' In other words, they are chemicals for which the body
makes an adjustment that later necessitates larger and larger doses
as one becomes more and more addicted to them. For example, if you
were to take a grain of morphine now it would kill you, but after
additction to it, even 10 would not kill.
"On the contrary I act as an anesthetic like ether which is made
from me. The only difference between our effects is that ether works
faster and its effects are more thorough. We both produce the same
kind of intoxication but not of the same degree. Anesthetics affect
the brain in a descending course. This means that I affect the
cerebrum first and the medulla last, or in the reverse order of their
evolutionary'dcvelopment. The centers of thought, judgement, reason,
self control, etc. are the first of your mental faculties to be
impaired. The functions of breathing and circulation are the last
to be modified, for they are controlled through the medulla.
"Your body does'not develop a tolerance to me as it does to nar-
cotics. For example, whether you are a novice or an habitual drinker
you are affected the same by equal concentrations of alcohol in the
blood. If it becomes 0.3% alcohol, you will stagger in your walk
regardless of your experience or inexperience at drinking. When your
blood is 0.5% alcohol you become unconscious. At 0.6 to 0.8% alcohol,
death occurs, as this is the lethal concentration."
Whichever term is used, anesthetic, depressant or narcotic, the
effects are the same, We need not consume time in arguing such points
while youth needs to receive information that is more vital to them.
7. Too great emphasis on the phyieonr1- ffcT Wiln Uvr. tn
- 4 -
spending too much effort in teaching the physical effects that belong
largely to the excessive drinker and the alcoholic which includes
4,000,000 of our population there are 56,000,000 moderate drinkers
who need to know more about the risk they are taking in making alco-
hol a psychological crutch. They need to know that the advantage they
gain socially from alcohol makes them less and not more of a "real
person". They are using a depressant to make them the "life of the
party" rather than developing their initiative.
The young person needs to know that a small amount of alcohol
that seems to make him a better driver is making him more subject to
accidents.
Tobacco
There is a great need for more scientific study concerning tobacco.
"Tobacco and Health" is recommended to the teachers as good material. Here
again we need to challenge the young person to strive for his maximum
physical and mental development. Lead him to study for himself the obstacle
that tobacco places in the way of that best growth. The fact that a teacher
smokes need not interfere with his encouraging the young person to attain
his full growth and weigh all the evidence before he decides to smoke.
Opium Marijuana
Teaching concerning the more dangerous drugs as opium and its deriva-
tives and marijuana is not as difficult as that concerning alcohol and
tobacco as social sanction is against the use of these drugs outside of
scientific and medical usage.
Sedatives and Stimulants
The use of milder stimulants as, tea, coffee, and kola drinks at times
are taken to the extreme and do considerable injury. Bensidrene to keep
one awake and barbituates to put one to sleep are used much to extensively.
Our aim in teaching is to help young people and adults to solve their
problems by a frontal attack and without goading the body with stimulants
or depend upon narcotics for relaxing it.

OUTLINE OF MATERIAL IN THE TEXTBOOKS
3RD GRADE
Everyday Health by Wilson, Baker, Abbott, and Almack. Publishers Bobbs-
Merrill Company, New York, 1942. Chapter IX, pp. 68-74.
(State Adopted)
A. Use and Misuse of Alcohol
1. Helps--alcohol helps to make paint, varnish, ink, and other materials
2. Misuse--inside the body it is harmful
B. Yeast Plants and Alcohol
1. Fruit juices spoil when left in the open air, smell sour, and have a
biting taste due to alcohol,
2. Alcohol made by yeast plants--plants float through air and dust
3. Children experiment by watching yeast make alcohol--they disolve a
cake of yeast in sweetened water--bubbles rise in the jar
4. Children taste and find alcohol makes water bitter. Yeast plants
and sugar have made alcohol
5. Alcohol is poison, but useful as good cleaner and used in paint
and dyes (reference to alcohol as a poison left out of the 1948
revision)
6. Alcohol is not easy to freeze. It is put in radiators to keep them
from freezing. It is used in ink, shoe polish, paint and varnish.
7. Poison--anything taken into the body which will cause sickness or
death. In medicine cabinets poisons should be labeled red with
skull and crossbones. (This statement is not in the 1948 edition).
8. "Beer and wines contain some alcohol. Children should not use these
drinks. Drink fresh fruit juices and milk."
C. Alcohol and Growth
1, Experiments were made to show alcohol harms plants. First plant
was watered and grew. Second plant was not watered and lived a few
days. The third plant was fed alcohol and died.
2. Exhibit of good foods and drinks for growth--fresh fruits and
vegetables from home, also, bread, butter, eggs, cereal, milk,
meat, and water.
3. Is alcohol a food? No. Boys and girls should never put alcohol
in their stomachs, instead drink milk, water, and fruit juices.
(The statement in the place of C in the 1948 edition reads, "Boys
and girls who want to be healthy should not take drinks that
contain alcohol.")
Four primary and elementary teachers who were studying at Gainesville in the
summer of 1948 discussed this material for third grade children. They felt that
the experiment with yeast is more suitable for the sixth or seventh grade and that
there is no reason for discussing paints and varnishes in a health book.
The experiment concerning the nourishing of plants with water and with alcohol
has no relation to alcohol and the human body. Concerning similar experiments,
Dr. Roe says: "Since the experiments as set up do not actually prove anything
about the effects of alcohol inside the body, they represent a type of false
analogy which is one of the most pervasive and unfortunate errors in teaching."
The 1942 edition refers to alcohol as a poison on pages 71 and 73. That
statement is left out of the 1948 edition. It is well that the references were
deleted. "The chief fault to be found with all the discussions of alcohol as a
poison is the complete disregard, in practically all of the textbooks, of the
question of amount. The toxic effects of alcohol are limited to those amounts
which bring about certain concentrations in the blood. The fault here lies not
so much with the textbook writers themselves, but with the habit, into which
many writers on alcohol have fallen, of speaking of the effects of alcohol with-
out reference to quantities. That alcohol in large amounts produces death is a
fact; it does not, however, follow that any amount of alcohol is toxic," says
Dr. Roe. Such discussions belong to more mature students.
The elementary teachers felt that page 73 is good as it is given in the
1948 edition. They felt that the one page is enough for 3rd grade pupils.

There is only one sentence in this book which refers to alcohol in any
way. This reference is in the section, "How Desert People Live," on page 173.
Quote, "True Arabs do not drink wine nor any kind of alcohol." There is one
reference to tobacco. This reference is in the section, "Indian Food," on
page 159.
The additions on pages 203 and 204 in the 1948 edition are largely '
satisfactory. Scientists agree however, that alcohol is not a stimulant,
but a depressant.

2. Effects of Alcohol on Auto Accidents, p. 338
3. Effects of Alcohol on the Brain, pp. 336-337
4. Effects of Alcohol on Chances of Getting a Position, pp. 338-339

alcohol is the direct cause of diseases when such disorders are caused by
nutritional deficiencies which occur often in the alcoholic.
B. Tobacco
1. Effects of Tobacco on Athletes, p. 340
2. Effects of Tobacco on Body, p. 340
- 10 -
The material here is largely good. The statement on page 340, "It
seems that smoking is an altogether undesirable habit," will likely be
questioned by some child who sees his parents derive enjoyment from smoking.
You may help the child weigh the evidence from every angle, including the
financial cost. Ask him to have his parents comment on the statement.
Parents, teachers, and thinking young people will agree that it is
altogether undesirable for the growing boy or girl.
Exploring Our Woild by Powers, Neuner, Bruner, and Bradley. Publisher:

Page 83 explains the freezing point of alcohol. It explains why
alcohol is used in anti-freeze.
Health Progress The American Health Series by Wilson, Bracken, Pryor,
and Almack. Publisher: Bobbs-Merrill Company, New York, 1948.
(Not Adopted)
A. Glenn Cunningham did not smoke nor use alcohol, p. 33.
B. Effect of alcohol and tobacco on nerves, pp. 73-74
C. Effect of alcohol and tobacco on heart, pp. 133-136
D. Effect of alcohol and tobacco on liver and kidneys, p. 236
E. The making of alcohol connected with Louis Pasteur's discovery of
bacteria, p. 291
F. Health in Practice, pp. 336-338
G. Protecting Your Well-Being, pp. 341-342
While the material in this book is limited it is well integrated, and
the statements are placed where they carry weight with the students. The
reference to Glenn Cunningham on page 23 is good.
In the section on "Reflex Action and Body Control", the statement
would be strcngthcnod if the sentence on page 73, "It takes water from them
and destroys essential parts of the cell body;" was changed to read, "It
anesthetizes the nerve cells and renders them incapable of doing their
best work, or in large amounts any work as long as alcohol remains in the
blood." The teachers can add that correction or lead students to find it
without shaking the student's confidence in the text by stating simply that
the newer information is being discovered all the time in every subject and
we want to be alert to find it.
- 11 -
The same is true concerning the statement on page 236--"The use of
alcohol may have serious effects on both liver and kidneys." This may
be passed over unless the students may ask the question, "Ho'7 does alcohol
affect the organs?" The teacher then may refer them to Dr. H. W. Haggard
(2) in Alcohol, Science and Society, where he says that any permanent
damage to any tissue is due to malnutrition which is common in the excessive
drinker. As one drinks more he tends to eat less which means that his body
is poorly nourished, thus it is more subject to disease.
The material on tobacco, pages 336-338, and on alcohol, 341-342, is
adequate.

3. Effects judgement--people do things they would not otherwise
4. Used as an escape mechanism
The work on alcohol with three minor exceptions is specially good.
It is regrettable that an e-;ually good treatment on tobacco is not given.
The three exceptions are:
1. The reference to the injury to white corpuscles on page 32, there
is little evidence that blood cells are injured. That would be a
stronger statement if it read, "But alcohol then into the body
interfere with all body processes. From the digestive system,

On page 135 the following statement occurs: "Because marijuana has
only recently become a menace, its possession and sale are not regulated
by the anti-narcotiic acts now in force." The copyright date of that book
is 1939. Marijuana is now controlled by the federal narcotic laws.

alcohol enters the blood stream, where it goes rapidly to all parts
of the body. Body tenmerature is lowered because of the relaxed
nerves that control the capillaries in the skin. Blood flows to the
skin and heat is lost."
2. On page 45 the statement is made that alcohol also may change some
of the muscle cells to fat. There is no evidence that this is true.
"Any effect on the heart is largely due to vitamin deficiency, and
should be thus explained," Dr. Roe (1).
3. In the very good section concerning, "Can Alcohol Help Us Solve
Problems," pp. 160-162, the amount of beer taken by the subject and
the age of the subject should be stated.

This book gives considerable space to alcohol, tobacco, opium, cocaine,
marijuana and self-medication. The treatment is scientific and objective.
Two corrections are indicated.
The approach to the alcohol problem is particularly good in this text.
The one exception is given below. There is little evidence as to how alcohol
effects the nerves. It is much easier to measure the results that follow
the taking of alcohol than it is to determine how the effects are produced.
lore study is being done in this area.
"The effects of alcohol on nervous tissue is believed to be due to the
fact that the fatty substance in the nerve cells readily absorbed alcohol,"

The presentation of the material concerning alcohol and tobacco is
scientific and objective. It gives information clearly and states that no
person should drink before he is twenty-one. His decision then should be
based on a critical view of all the dangers and expenses involved.
Two young men in the 1948 class took exception to the following state-
ment; they felt that it justified smoking too much: "The bodies of some
individuals who smoke regularly become accustomed to the presence of nicotine;
thus this drug may not affect them so much as it does other persons," p. 118.
This would not alter the possibility that many individuals are injured by
the drug. The material in this book is very good with this exception.

Errors:
"Normal people do not drink alcohol to excess, and most of them do not
drink at all," p. 497. This statement could well be challenged by the'thinking
9th grade student; there are 60 million drinkers in our Nation, with 4,000,000
excessive drinkers. Frank discussion on such points leads to clear thinking
and better evaluation of the problem.

The outstanding criticism is one of omission. There is no mention of
alcohol or tobacco in the section on mental health. To lead young people
to solve their own problems without resorting to artificial crutches is a
vital responsibility of the educator. For help in this area the teacher
may refer to The Alcohol Problem Visualized (5) and Alcohol Talks from the

(o) References
This book represents all that is good and bad concerning the teaching
about narcotics. All references here are to the 1944 edition.
The introduction, page 459, which is largely well stated indicated that
alcohol does not produce unconsciousness. In large amounts it does produce
unconsciousness.
On page 460 the assumption that alcohol attacks the lipoid of the nerve
cells has no foundation in scientific study. The second paragraph on that
page is well stated except for the opening phrase, "In similar fashion."
The same errors concerning damage to cells is repeated on pages 462 and 463.
The section, "A Narcotic, Not a Stimulant," is good on page 463 and two
lines on 464. The remainder is not borne out by the evidence.
In the section, "Further Effects on the Nervous System," pages 464-467,
there is much repetition. The last paragraph is a good statement that
covers all that the previous part of the section repeats unnecessarily.
The section on alcohol and accidents, pages 467-469 is good.
The section, "A Habit-Forming Drug," classes alcohol with other
narcotics but does not state that alcohol habit formation is psychological
rather than physical. With the use of narcotics as opium, the conditioning
is physical.
The text goes on with descriptions of how alcohol effects circulation,
respiration, and excretion. These have the common error of blaming alcohol
directly when malnutrition is at the root of all these difficulties.

B. Mental Disease, p. 558
C. Mental Health, pp. 566-568
The writers of this text are to be congratulated upon'including material
on alcohol in the chapter given to Mental Health. However, some of the
errors common to writings about alcohol have been included, namely:
A. "Alcohol paralyzes the white corpuscles of the blood which preserve
health. Muscles, nerves, liver and even protoplasm are harmed by it.
It is a narcotic that is a harmful drug. It is not merely a stimulant,"
p. 566.
"Other causes are the diseases of childhood, syphilis and alcoholism in
parents--probably because syphilis and alcoholism destroy cells which
have to do with the building of the brain," p. 558.
- 23 -
There is no conclusive evidence that the functioning of white corpuscles
is injured by alcohol.
The nerves are anesthetized by alcohol and thus cannot do their best
work as long as alcohol remains in the blood. Any permanent damage done to
muscles, brain cells, nerves, liver and protoplasm is due to malnutrition
which usually occurs in the excessive drinker due to the fact that he eats
very little,
B. "Perhaps worst of all, alcohol may affect the germ plasm of the parent
or parents, and cause the infant to begin life as a defective," p. 566
Again it is not the damage to the germ plasm that hinders prenatal child
development but the lowered physical stamina of the parents through mal-
nutrition, mental unrest, and generally unsatisfactory living conditions.
The major interest of adolescents centers around how he can get along
well with people, be popular, get a date, get a job. All of these vital
factors revolve around the matter of mental health. The high school student
will be interested in how alcohol and tobacco effects his well being. He
will ask such questions as:
1. Do I have to drink and smoke to be popular?
2. Thy do people drink?
3. What makes alcoholics?
4, How may I help my older friend vwho is an alcoholic?
The teacher may get good help hero from "Alcohol Talks from the Labor-
atory" (3) and "Alcohol Problem Visualized" (4).

- 37 -
Alcohol Talks About Himself
1. Why does alcohol increase thirst rather than quench it? (Due to
dehydrating action when alcohol touches the mucus membrane of the
throat)
2. After absorption into the blood why is the dehydrating effect
slight? (The blood and otherboy fluids dilute the alcohol so)
3. Where is alcohol proud of his record? (In art, science, medicine,
and industry)
4. What is one theory as to the "headache" experienced by drinkers
"the morning after?" (The brain being largely water it absorbs
much alcohol and thus the brain is pinched in the skull)
5. What does the word"proof" on whiskey labels mean? (The proof is
always twice the alcohol volume per cent concentration)
6. Why do some people seem to get intoxicated more easily than others?
(a. Relative amounts of total water in the body,
(b. relative experience with alcohol,
(c. psychological differences)
7. What is the scientific name and formula for beverage alcohol?
(Ethyl alcohol 02150H)
8. What are the names of the other members of the alcohol family?
(Methyl, Propyl, Butyl, and Amyl)
9. In what order does alcohol affect the brain? (It affects first the
higher centers, viz the seat of judgement, self control, reason,
memory, sensation, and voluntary movement. Breathing and circulation
are the last to be modified.)
10. Does the body develop a tolerance for alcohol? (No, a 0.3% con-
centration in the blood causes staggering in both the novice and the
habitual drinker.)
My Effects Last As Long As I Am In Your Blood
11. How soon after drinking does alcohol affect behavior? (Behavior is
affected as soon as alcohol reaches the brain--15 to 20 minutes.)
12. How long does the effect last? (As long as any alcohol remains
in the blood)
13. The average man's body can dispose of a pint of 100? proof whiskey
in about what time? (Approximately 24 hours)
14. Why is alcohol oxidized so slowly? (It is only in the liver that
it can be broken down.)
I Am Not a Practical Food
15. Is alcohol a practical food? (No, because
(a) oxidization is too slow
(b) oxidization occurs only in the liver
(c) energy produced cannot help with muscular work
(d) burned in preference to fats and sugars
(e) while producing heat it anesthetizes the braifi centers that
control the size of blood vessels in the skin, thus more heat
is lost through radiation.
(f) its food qualities are responsible for nutritional deficiencies)
- 38 -
Lesson III
THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM
A, Rapid review of the questions on lesson II
B. Ask for any comments, newspaper articles or radio reports.
C. Reports on special projects
D. Read pages 10-13 aloud or silently.
E. Read sections from general science, health, home economics books on
digestion, on alcohol and its effects on digestion.
F. Read same books on depressants and stimulants, use dictionary.
You are Mistaken if You Think I Aid Digestion
1. What are the mechanical processes included in digestion? (Chewing,
swallowing and peristalsis)
2. Does alcohol aid hunger contractions(peristalsis)? (It temporarily
abolishes these movements)
3. Why does this inactivity cause indigestion? (The action of bacteria
that were in the food)
4. What are the chemical processes of digestion? (Ten special enzymes
break down the complex molecules of carbohydrates, fats and proteins)
5. Does alcohol increase the flow of digestive juices? (Yes, but it is
of inferior quality since it is largely water)
6. What effect does it have on enzymes? (Lessens their power)
I Am A Depressant Not A Stimulant
1. Does alcohol pep one up and make him the life'of the party? (Many
people do become more excited, more talkative, more jovial, but their
talk is less critical, often silly and vulgar)
2. Why is one often ashamed when told of the things he said while affected
by alcohol? (Alcohol depresses the higher centers of the brain, both
judgment and memory are impaired)
3. Is the term "tight" an appropriate one for a drunk person? (No, he
is loose both in talk and behavior)
4. Where is the power of inhibition located in the brain? (In a group
of nerve cells in the cerebrum called the "supra-segmental" neurons)
5. What use do high pressure salesmen make of alcohol? (The prospective
buyer has his resistance lowered by a cocktail or two)
6. Give some evidences that the lower brain centers are depressed. (Faster
pulse, dilatation of the blood vessels in the skin, enlargement of the
pupils of the eyes)
7. What does alcohol do to your standard of accomplishment? (It makes
one satisfied with mediocre performance, while the euphoric effect
makes one think he is doing superior work)
8. What does scientific testing show concerning speed and accuracy?
(Lowered in both physical and mental processes)
- 39 -
Lesson IV
TOWARD STOUT HEARTED MEN AND WOMEN
A, Review the work up to date. List the following key words on the board. Ask
the class to tell what connection they have with the subject.

D. Talk by local traffic officer or doctor.
E. Read pages 13-18*
I Jeopardize Your Chances in Athletic Sports

of a stimulus and the response to it--the sound of the gun and the
jump)
3. How long may alcohol in the blood slow "reaction time"? (From 1/5
to 4/5 second)
4. Give two ways in which alcohol impairs the action of the heart.
