Effects Of Alcohol

The goal of the vodka diet is to stay in the Euphoric Zone without crossing into lethargy. To do this we have a simple formula (don't worry it's the only formula in the whole diet). The formula is: hours awake x 2 oz of Vodka = Optimal Daily Vodka Consumption.

So if you're awake for 16 hours a day then your ODVC would be 32 oz. of Vodka. It is important to space your doses of Vodka out by the hour so your blood alcohol stays in the Euphoric Zone.

Here are the effects of alcohol as outlined in Wikkipedia:

* Euphoria (BAC = 0.03 to 0.12%).

o Subject may experience an overall improvement in mood and possible euphoria.

o Their judgment is not as good — they may express the first thought that comes

to mind, rather than an appropriate comment for the given situation.

o They have trouble with fine movements, such as writing or signing their name.

* Lethargy (BAC = 0.09 to 0.25%)

o Subject may become sleepy.

o They have trouble understanding or remembering things, even recent events.

They do not react to situations as quickly.

easily, stumbling; walking is not stable.
