This is sometimes called being able to "hold your liquor" or "drink someone under the table." Often they are unaware that their body's lower response to the intoxicating effects of alcohol isn't protection from alcohol problems but instead is a reason for caution. These individuals tend to drink more, socialize with people who drink a lot, and develop a tolerance to alcohol, i.e., it takes more and more alcohol to feel or act intoxicated. As a result, they have an increased risk for developing AUD. Someone who misuses alcohol, especially over the long-term, can experience permanent liver, heart, or brain damage. And all people who drink regardless of the amount need to be aware that critical decision-making abilities and driving-related skills are already diminished long before a person shows physical signs of intoxication.</p> </div> </p> </div> <div class="white"></div> <div class="myth-content " style="background-image:url(/sites/cdp/files/images/myth6.jpg); background-position: 53% 0;"></div> </div> <div class="myth-fact mc50" tabindex="0"> <div class="myth"> <h2>Myth 7</h2> <p>I can manage to drive well enough after a few drinks.</p> </div> <div class="fact scrollbar"> <h2>Fact 7</h2> <p> <div class="field field--name-field-fact-description field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The effects of alcohol start sooner than people realize, with mild impairment (up to 0.05 blood alcohol concentration [BAC]) starting to affect speech, memory, attention, coordination, and balance. And if you are under 21, driving after drinking any amount of alcohol is illegal and you could lose your license. The risks of a fatal crash for drivers with positive BAC compared with other drivers increase as the BAC increases, and the risks increase more steeply for drivers younger than age 21 than for older drivers. Critical decision-making abilities and driving-related skills are already diminished long before a person shows physical signs of intoxication.</p> </div> </p> </div> <div class="white"></div> <div
