BASSET Training OnlineBelieving some wild stories about Alcohol may make you appear naughty through persistent misunderstandings, misperceptions, and plain lies heard concerning alcohol.

Now, you’ll have a lot better understanding of Alcohol’s effects than we had in the past. And overcome many misconceptions regarding the drinking of Alcohol. You can make better choices regarding your alcohol consumption if you know the facts.

 

Common Alcohol Myths 

However, consuming a certain number of drinks in a specific order may be unsafe. Because of individual features such as gender and body weight and how much food is ingested while drinking and the sort of food consumed, it’s more about the percentage of body fat to muscle. There is no secret method for getting away with excessive drinking.

I’m OK to drive one hour after a drink.

No one has experienced drinking to the point where their blood alcohol level returns to normal in less than an hour. Drinking more than one drink in an hour is considered safe for some clients, who reason that they can drive after waiting an hour since their last drink.

It takes longer for the effects to wear off with each extra glass. A single drink can take up to an hour and a half to absorb and leave your body.

In addition, many customers fail to realize that some beverages are more than just a drink. The alcohol content of many mixed cocktails and large draft beers is higher than that of a single standard drink. As a food handler, you need to keep a close eye on your clients’ alcohol consumption.

Liquor before beer, in the clear. Beer before liquor, never been sicker.

Not the type, but the number is the most critical factor. Liquor before beer, in the clear. It’s never been worse to have a beer before booze.

The amount of alcohol you consume, not the type of order in which it is finished, is what determines whether or not you’ve ever been sicker.

A cup of coffee after Alcohol is better.

That’s not true. Caffeine might indeed give you a sober impression since it makes you feel more alert, but the effects of Alcohol are precisely the same.

Your ability to function isn’t getting any better. When it comes to reaction, you may experience some adverse and significant results consuming both coffee and alcohol. Coffee after an alcohol night is not advisable as it may sober you up faster!

Alcohol Color Determine level Dehydration

Alcohol concentration is not affected by color. Lighter beers tend to have a higher alcohol level than their dark side or vice versa. There’s no reason to believe one way. Honestly, alcohol may increase your urge to urinate. Excessive drinking can lead to dehydration, which is why it’s a problem. The only thing holding your pee will make you more uncomfortable.

Knowing Alcohol concentration percentage is a skill you need Beverage Alcohol Sellers and Servers Education and Training (BASSET) certification at ACE Food Handler to become certified to serve, recommend and sell alcohol appropriately.
