Be aware of these signs if you suspect that someone is intoxicated. You may notice slurred speech and a lack of balance in people who are drunk. They might also have trouble counting change or walk without falling. They may also exhibit extreme mood swings. In extreme cases they might even fight or annoy others.
Drink counting
It is important to count how many drinks you have consumed to determine if you are intoxicated. Most people do not pay attention to their drinking habits, so the obvious signs are often invisible. Intoxication is the first and most obvious symptom, but other symptoms can also occur, including slurred speech.
People will have different symptoms of intoxication. There may be fewer symptoms for some people than others. It might take them five drinks before they can slur their words. But this does not necessarily mean that they are more intoxicated than other people. You must count the amount of alcohol you drink each hour to calculate your BAC. Drinking should be stopped immediately you feel intoxicated if you intend to drive. Another sign of intoxication is a flushed appearance, chattiness and delayed reactions.
Slurred speech
Slurred speech is a classic sign of alcohol consumption. Alcohol affects the brain and slows down communication between different parts of the body. It is an immediate sign to stop drinking. Slurred or distorted speech may also indicate other symptoms. An individual might have contact lens irritation or bloodshot eyes. Some people may have slurred speech naturally.
Intoxication can be detected by slurred speech if there is doubt. Slurred speaking can also be a sign you have diabetes or allergies. In addition, the person may even smell like alcohol on their breath. These symptoms are important to know before you assume that someone is intoxicated.
Smell of alcohol
A person's smell is one of the best indicators that they have consumed alcohol. The distinctive smell of alcohol can be easily detected by a person’s breath. It is also found on the skin and clothes. People who are drunk can be more talkative and aggressive than others, and may engage in dangerous behavior.
Heavy alcohol use can slow the heartbeat or blood flow and affect the brainwaves, which send messages to the heart and the lungs to continue blood flow. These symptoms indicate that the person may be already drunk and require immediate medical attention.
Measuring the alcohol concentration
Measuring the alcohol concentration in a person's blood is the best way to diagnose alcohol abuse. The concentration of alcohol in a person's blood is called blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and depends on how much alcohol was consumed and for how long. It can also be affected by factors such as metabolism, weight, gender, physical condition, and age. Blood alcohol concentration can be used to measure alcohol impairment. But it's not the only indicator. In addition, alcohol tolerance can vary from person to person. It can also be affected by chronic alcohol use and genetics.
A person's blood alcohol concentration can affect their coordination and judgment. High BAC can cause difficulty in driving and make it difficult to walk. Someone with a low BAC may feel light-headed and relaxed. They may also have breathing problems.

How To
How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe
The first step in making any cocktail recipe is finding the right ingredients. Cognac is a French spirit made with fermented grapes. We will use it in this cocktail. It's usually clear, although sometimes you'll see it aged in oak barrels. You can find cognac at specialty liquor stores and online retailers like Amazon.com.
The next step is to add simple syrup. Simple syrup is sugar dissolved into water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes). Add enough cold tapwater to fully cover the sugar by 2" Let stand overnight. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. For up to 3 weeks, store any liquid in an airtight container in the fridge.
For our Brandy Alexander Cocktail, we're going to combine Cognac and simple syrup together. Combine the Cognac with simple syrup in a shaker. Fill it half-way with ice cubes. Fill the rest with simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Serve the Brandy Alexander with soda water. Garnish with a lemon twist.
