Shooting injures 4 at Texas college

County police said two supsects considered “people of interest”

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — A fight between two people led to a shooting at a Texas community college, where a maintenance man was caught in the crossfire and wounded, officials said.

The shooting came one month after a gunman attacked an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., killing 20 children and heightening security concerns at campuses across the country.

tenure at Ball State STEVEN WILLIAMS MANAGING EDITOR | @sbwilliams15

Ever since women’s volleyball coach Steve Shondell’s extension talks began, it was never a question of where he wanted to be. “I told [athletic director] Bill [Scholl] from the beginning that the only place I’m ever going to be is at Ball State,” Shondell said. “When my tenure is finished at Ball State I won’t be coaching college or high school anymore.” Shondell confirmed via text message to the Daily News he signed an extension early Tuesday before Ball State announced the three-year extension in a news release. Shondell’s new contract will continue through Jan. 31, 2016, with a first-year salary of $89,000, including performance incentives, Scholl said.

Scholl said the agreement was “a bit anti-climatic” because a verbal agreement was reached in the middle of Ball State’s fall season. Shondell has led Ball State to a 63-30 record in his first three years as coach including a NCAA Tournament bid in the 2011 season. The AVCA Hall of Fame coach made it clear he’s willing to coach as long as the program is still successful. “When it gets to the point where I feel like we’re not producing like we need to, then it will be time for someone else to take over,” Shondell said. “But hopefully that won’t be for at least a while. I just want what’s best for the university.” Scholl said the Muncie community and Ball State tradition means high expectations for Shondell and the women’s volleyball program. “When you are looking for programs to kind of serve as your signature programs, I think you would be silly to not think about volleyball potentially as one of those programs,” he said.

The Washington Post columnist and MSNBC contributor Eugene Robinson speaks about the current state of racial relations in America on Tuesday in Pruis Hall. The event, which was part of Unity Week, featured a question and answer portion, during which Robinson addressed how media affects politics.

SHOOTING: Texas campus remain closed for hours | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 At least 10 police cars clustered on the campus’ west side as emergency personnel tended to the wounded and loaded them on stretchers. Students led by officers ran from the buildings where they had been hiding as police evacuated the campus. Keisha Cohn, 27, who also is studying to be a paramedic, said she was inside a building about 50 feet away from where the shots were fired. She heard “no less than five” shots and started running. She fled to the campus learning center, which houses computers and study areas. Eventually, a deputy showed up and escorted people out, she said. Like many students, she ended up leaving her car on the cam-

pus, which reopened after 4 p.m. Tuesday. Daniel Flores, 19, was in a second-floor tutoring lab with about 60 people when he heard a noise that sounded “like someone was kicking a door.” Once he and others realized the sound was gunfire, they fled to the nearby student services center, where authorities kept them for about 30 minutes before letting them go. Cody Harris, 20, said he was in a classroom with about six or seven other students waiting for a psychology class to start when he heard eight shots. He and other students looked at each other, said “I guess we should get out of here,” and fled. “I was just worried about getting out,” Harris said. “I called my grandmother and asked her to pick me up.`”

tional MSNBC family.” “Whoever says this country hasn’t changed in the time they’ve been alive, I’m here to tell you that it has,” Robinson said. Robinson said the Orangeburg Massacre of 1968, in which three young men were killed by state patrol officers’ fire during a nonviolent protest, happened maybe 400 yards outside of his childhood home. He credits that event with being “a lot of the reason” why he became a journalist, when two years later he wrote an awardwinning essay for his freshman English class at the University of Michigan. Robinson then fast-forwarded to the 2008 general election night with his MSNBC crew at the Rockefellar Center. “Something in the back of my mind is saying, ‘No this isn’t happening’… and at 10:45 p.m. we hear through our earpieces that the network is going to call the

Amid criticism of Ball State’s evaluation program as a charter school authorizer, the university announced that several schools will not have their charters renewed. Ball State has chosen not to renew seven of its 20 reviewed charter schools based on their failure in three key criterion: academic performance, financial well-being and organizations compliance, said Robert Marra, executive director of the Office of Charter Schools. “The decision process was based on a cap review of each criterion,” Marra said. “We provided them [with] a meaningful opportunity to fix that [and]

from there we made our decision not to renew them.” As well as choosing not to renew seven schools, the Office of Charter Schools also resigned seven schools for a three-year period with performance conditions, a sign that these schools were on the edge of failing the renewal process. These conditions will be closely tied to academic performance and governance, Marra said, which allows Ball State to make a meaningful evaluation of scholastic progress at a more direct level. Two of the charter schools, Hoosier Academy in Muncie and West Gary Lighthouse Charter School in Gary, Ind., withdrew their application, for renewal. The schools could not be reached for comment at time of publication. Marra said his office had been working with the reviewed schools for the last two years on a framework to drive

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 While the 18- to 21-year-old group is not limited to colleges, binge drinking has its place among university concerns. “As academics, our true reason for being part of a community like this is that we have a strong affection for our students,” McGeary said. “I definitely get very concerned about these types of behaviors, because we do see in campuses with more binge drinking higher rates of crimes, accidents, all sorts of things. Death, even, in some cases from alcohol poisoning.” Some students said they think binge drinking has its perks. “You’re more sociable, you meet a lot of new friends and you have a good time in general,” Haley Hunter, a sophomore psychology major, said. “On the flip side, you can have a hangover, you sometimes do stupid stuff, the list goes on.”

For others, it’s just another form of entertainment. “I’d say I choose to binge drink on occasion for a lack of anything better to do,” sophomore telecommunications major Jack Smith said. Another area the group examined closely was income. “Our hypothesis was that people with high income tend to drink moderately, but according to these results, we’re going to have to reject our [hypothesis],” Mhlanga-Fichani said. About 17 percent of adults with annual household incomes from $15,000 to $25,999 binge drink, as opposed to 21 percent of adults making $50,000 to $74,999. “We do find that people drink heavier and binge drink more when you get older and you have higher incomes because it is kind of expensive,” McGeary said. “We see drinking increasing with income.”

A major part of that was a stronger review process that was changed from every five years to annually. The schools that failed to reauthorize will lose their Ball State charter on June 30, which means students will not have to leave their school mid-semester. “There will be a school fair to give parents information, Ball State will oversee that,” Marra said. “We will make sure the parents and the students have adequate time to look at the

information and find a new school before the beginning of the next semester in August.” State law permits a child that has been removed from a charter school based on the school closing to bring their state funding with them to another institution. Students would still have to apply for acceptance to the new school. Moving forward, the Office of Charter Schools hopes this will make the Ball State charter school program more successful, Marra said, emphasizing the new standards in place to enhance student and school performance. “It is my hope for our framework to be the usable example for rigorous standards and accountability for other authorizers,” Marra said. “So we are not necessarily looking for five more schools to take these places, our whole priority is quality, so we will only looking for quality charter schools.”

GOVERNOR EXPLAINS VISION FOR IND. Pence plans to push vocational training, tax cuts in address | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Mike Pence used his first State of the State address Tuesday night to lobby for a personal income tax cut, an expansion of Indiana’s school voucher system and improved vocational training. The new Republican governor highlighted the stories of three families he said showed the need to expand Indiana’s 2011 schools overhaul, improve veterans services and refocus the state’s education and business communities on the vocational training. “We can put Hoosiers back to work and make Indiana first — first in job creation, first in education and first in quality of life,” he said. Pence, who took office last

week, offered little new in terms of what he will seek in his first year in office, instead using his speech before a joint session of the Indiana House and Senate to lobby for an austere state budget built around a 10 percent cut in the state’s personal income tax. That would reduce the income tax rate from 3.4 percent to 3.06 percent. Pence was firm about the potential loss of $500 million a year in tax revenue. “Let’s be honest with our fellow Hoosiers: We can afford to do this,” he said. The GOP holds overwhelming majorities in both the House and Senate. Republican leaders, however, have expressed skepticism at the idea of putting a tax cut ahead of school spending following years of education cuts. Democratic leaders praised Pence for his speech and thanked him for including some of their priorities in his

State alumna Clarise Mason said the event was a great opportunity for students and community members to hear from someone who lived through history. “I think it is always great to hear a personal story, and he was born in 1954, right in the middle of all of this.” Mason said. Jaxx Simmons, a freshman physical therapy major, enjoyed the speech but thought some of the audience’s questions were offensive. “I just think that some people should stop referring to others as minorities,” Simmons said. “Certain people who are unintelligent about something should not refer to others as minorities. It is very disrespectful, it is very rude and it is actually a racial term. She’s lucky she left. I wasn’t going to fight her, I was just going to tell her.” Robinson’s message was clear — America continues to progress toward equality.

election for Obama at 11.” Robinson said. “I thought, ‘When they call the election for Obama, they are going to turn to the black guy, so I have to figure out something to say.’” Robinson said he got to call his 92-year-old father during a short break to tell him that he had lived long enough to see the election of the first AfricanAmerican president of the United States, just a few months before he died. Robinson jumped once again to election night 2012, back again with his MSNBC family, this time without that voice of doubt in the back of his mind. “In our 400-year conflict with race that started in 1619, when the first slave came to Jamestown ... 400 years we’ve been at this,” Robinson said. “And it struck me that it might be even more significant that a black president could be re-elected.” Community member and Ball

first-year agenda, including a promise to send more state contracts to veteran-owned businesses. But they said they expected more from him, specifically on how he would create jobs. “I think I was hoping for a bit more of a bolder approach in terms of ideas and resources to really empower workers to bridge that skills gap,” said Senate Minority Leader Tim Lanane, D-Anderson. The audience of lawmakers, state officials, lobbyists and Pence’s family applauded the governor more than 25 times, standing five times as they saved some of their heartiest plaudits for the three Hoosier families Pence picked to highlight his priorities. Pence highlighted the story of the Rodney and Melita Davis family of Indianapolis, whose daughter attends the Trader’s Point Christian Academy, in backing a continuation of what is already the coun-

try’s largest private school voucher program. “I have long believed that parents should be able to choose where their children go to school, regardless of their income.” Pence said. “We must continue to expand educational opportunities, especially for those with the fewest resources.” Pence pointed to Bill Beach, owner of New Albany-based Beach Mold and Tool, as one reason to reinvest in vocational training for high school students. Pence said Beach’s father told him as a teenager that his brother would go to college while he would go to a vocational school since he was good working with his hands. Beach started his company is 1972. The governor called for creating regional councils that would work with businesses and educators to tailor high school vocational programs to available jobs.

VIEW THE STUDY

McGeary said she is also interested in how the economy and recession affect drinking in Indiana. “Because the alcohol tax hasn’t changed very much and hasn’t been adjusted for inflation, alcohol has gotten much more affordable, so the real price of alcohol has fallen tremendously in the last few decades,” she said. “Even though it’s become more affordable, it still costs money, when it’s between alcohol and feeding your kids.”

DN|BRIEF

Currently, alcohol in Indiana is taxed based on type. Beer is taxed at approximately 11 cents per gallon, liquor at $2.68 per gallon and wine at 47 cents per gallon. Heavy drinking, two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women, was also analyzed, where men were much more prominent than women and Hispanics more prominent than other ethnicities. Education seems to have little to no effect on binge drinking or heavy drinking. McGeary said the report could be a wake-up call for people who drink regularly. “Alcohol has not come under fire as much as, for instance, as smoking,” she said. “In general, I think it is one of the more dangerous behaviors that we have as a nation because of all of the problems that can happen. It’s something to be much more aware of than we are.”

Cardinals look to end MAC skid

Buffalo’s McCrea is reigning MAC East player of the week CONOR HOCKETT CHIEF REPORTER TEAM COMPARISON | @ConorHockett Success often comes with expectations, and it’s a combination Ball State hasn’t proved it can handle throughout the past couple of seasons. A 4-1 start to Mid-American Conference play in 2011-12 was quickly forgotten after the Cardinals lost their next nine league games and all but eliminated themselves from a chance to win the MAC Tournament. Those struggles are looking all-too familiar this season, with Ball State in the midst of a three-game losing streak after surprising many with a conference-opening win at Eastern Michigan. “You just have to help the young guys out because they haven’t been there before,” junior forward Matt Kamieniecki said. “You’ve got to rely on the veterans to get through a threegame losing streak here. We just have to bounce back and play with a little more effort than we did on Saturday.” Kamieniecki said Saturday’s loss at Central Michigan was demoralizing after playing so well in previous games against MAC East Division perennial powers Kent State and Akron. One of the Cardinals’ biggest problems against the Chippewas was defending ball screens, a system coach Billy Taylor said the team’s next opponent bases its entire offense around. When Ball State (7-9, 1-3 MAC) plays Buffalo (6-12, 1-3 MAC) today, Taylor said his team will experience a steady diet of ball screen roll-and-replace action,

spearheaded by Buffalo junior forward Javon McCrea. “What makes them so effective is all the pieces to the puzzle,” Taylor said. “McCrea is such a huge factor because he can roll to the basket and get post-up opportunities. He catches the ball in the high post and can drive against post defenders. He’s knocking down the midrange shot this year, which is an improvement in his game. “He’s a really tough matchup with the way they space the floor with shooters.” The reigning MAC East Division Player of the Week, McCrea leads his team in both scoring (17.1 ppg) and rebounding (7.4 rpg). While Central Michigan shredded Ball State on ball screens, they were of a different variety. Most of the Chippewas’ big men picked-and-popped, as opposed to the Bulls’ McCrea and sophomore Will Regan, who Kamieniecki said rolled hard to the basket. “With Central a lot of their posts played on the perimeter as shooters, where Buffalo’s posts tend to stay more inside,” Kamieniecki said. “That’s how it was with Akron and Kent State.

Sophomore Matt Kamieniecki attempts a jump shot over a Butler player. Ball State will play Buffalo today in Worthen Arena.

The other day [Saturday] there were just too many straight-line drives and they were getting into the paint too easily. We just have to do a better job communicating and playing as a team on ball screens.” For much of the season, Ball State has been solid against

ball screens. The Chippewas were able to force switches and get frontcourt players like Kamieniecki defending guards on the perimeter. Taylor said despite these and other lingering problems like turnovers are minute corrections that prevented sev-

After four conference games, Buffalo is in a similar situation as Ball State. After a lackluster 2-11 non-conference stretch, the Bulls have turned it on throughout conference season, going 3-1 against Mid-American Conference opponents. Ball State went 2-10 in nonconference games, and currently has a 3-1 conference record after a tough, 59-44 home win over Kent State on Saturday. The Cardinals will have a chance to make it 4-1 on Wednesday when they travel to New York to take on the Bulls. Rachael Gregory has set the pace this season for Buffalo. She has averaged 10.7 points per game, and has scored almost 30 more points than the next-high-

She’s also missed almost half of her 100 free throw attempts. Sophomore Brittany Carter has upped her game during conference play, averaging 13.3 points per game during the MAC games. Carter has also averaged five 3-pointers per game in conference play. She set a season high in points in Ball State’s first conference game on Jan. 10.

Sean Payton reinstated by Goodell Coach’s suspension not supposed to end until early February | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Payton’s season-long suspension for his role in the Saints’ bounty program was lifted by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday, nearly two weeks earlier than expected. The decision allows Payton to attend the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., on Saturday, where some of the top college players available for the NFL draft will be competing. Payton, along with assistant head coach Joe Vitt, general manager Mickey Loomis, and four players including Jona-

than Vilma, was suspended after an investigation found the club had a performance pool offering cash rewards for key plays, including big hits. The player suspensions eventually were overturned. “I clearly recognize that mistakes were made, which led to league violations,” Payton said in a statement. The suspension was scheduled to end after the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, but was moved up after Payton and Goodell met on Monday. “Coach Payton acknowledged in the meeting his responsibility for the actions of his coaching staff and players and pledged to uphold the highest standards of the NFL and ensure that his staff and players do so as well,” Goodell said in a statement. “’Sean fully com-

plied with all the requirements imposed on him during his suspension. “More important, it is clear that Sean understands and accepts his responsibilities as a head coach and the vital role that coaches play in promoting player safety and setting an example for how the game should be played at all levels.” Saints owner Tom Benson welcomed back his coach. “We are all thankful that Sean Payton has been reinstated,” Benson said. “We have a lot of work to do and we are in the middle of it right now.” Loomis and Vitt are in Mobile evaluating players. Loomis said he was caught off guard by the news of Payton’s return. But he said having Payton back sooner than expected will help the Saints.

“Every day makes a difference. We’ve certainly missed Sean in terms of the football team and all the things that go with our business and the game. But look, I miss his friendship. We all miss his friendship. We miss him as a person. I’m excited that he’s going to be back here and fired up that he’s back.” What the Saints do know is that the 49-year-old Payton is set to return to New Orleans for the next five seasons. Earlier this month he signed a contract extension running through the 2017 season. The coach is the last person punished in the bounty probe to return to work. Before Tuesday, Payton had not been at work since mid-April, when Goodell rejected the coach’s appeal of his suspension.

eral key wins over the past couple games. “I thought we had some great opportunities to capitalize against some tough opponents, so we are disappointed to finish this segment 1-3,” Taylor said. “But from what I’ve seen from our guys, they’ve shown

a lot of resiliency so far this year. I feel like they still really believe in themselves and what we’re doing. “Hopefully now with a home game [today,] getting our feet back underneath us a little bit, we’ll be able to play some consistent basketball.”

SHONDELL: Scholl says there was agreement in middle of season

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “I lost four key players for a good part of the year,” he said. “We never really kind of became the team we could have been had we had all of our players [healthy].” The struggles didn’t affect the extension talks because Scholl said he understood the circumstances. “It was clearly a year with some very unusual circumstances involving that team relative to the injury side of things,” Scholl said. “His record this year did not cause me hesitation.” Thanks to a new deal, Ball State gets to keep the Shondell coaching legacy alive with someone who puts Ball State first. “He loves Ball State,”

Scholl said. “There is no question how passionate he is about Ball State, about Ball State volleyball and about volleyball.”

GYMNASTICS

BALL STATE TO HOST VALENTINE BALL FOR YOUNG GIRLS AT STUDENT CENTER The Ball State gymnastics team is set to host its first-ever Valentine Princess Ball. The event will take place Feb. 17, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the L.A. Pittenger Student Center Ballroom. Gymnastics head coach Nadalie Walsh that this type of fundraiser is new to the city of Muncie and will offer a new type of opportunity to local young girls, and even across the state. Girls from as far away as Indianapolis are expected to attend. The event is open to girls from pre-school to seventh grade. The Student Center Ballroom will be transformed into a royal court, complete with a castle. To set the scene, gymnasts from Ball State’s team will act as Disney princesses. Each girl, or princess for the night, will be accompanied by their own adult chaperone. Attendees will be eligible to partake in raffles and compete for the title of “Princess of the Ball.” The grand prize winner will receive a photograph with Ball State’s gymnastics team, a $50 gift card and other prizes. The team has previously held gymnastics clinics for young girls but Walsh said they seemed more exclusive. The ball is a way to interact more with the community and will allow for all young girls, regardless of their background in gymnastics, to enjoy a care-free evening with the team. – DAKOTA CRAWFORD

‘DJANGO UNCHAINED’ INAPPROPRIATELY DELIVERS MESSAGE KAMERON MCBRIDE KAMERA OBSUCRA KAMERON MCBRIDE IS A JUNIOR CREATIVE WRITING MAJOR AND WRITES ‘KAMERA OBSCURA’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HIS VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO KAMERON AT KNMCBRIDE @BSU.EDU

For a while I avoided going to see “Django Unchained.” Simply, I was worried about seeing director Quentin Tarantino’s take on the Civil War, fearing that his distinct style would overtake any sort of larger point the film was trying to make. After I saw “Django,” it took me a while to organize my thoughts about it. If nothing else, Tarantino has created a provocative dialogue, but I’m not sure if he’s going about it in the right way. The film starts with two slavers leading Django (Jamie Foxx) and other slaves through the woods. They run into a dentist named Dr. King Schultz (Christopher Waltz) who frees Django after learning he has information on slavers that Schultz is hunting. Schultz is a bounty hunter, masquerading as a dentist, who goes from town to town killing people for the U.S. government. Following Django and Schultz making their rounds through different towns was easily the most enjoyable part of the film. It’s a buddy film where race roles become reversed as Django quickly evolves into what

Schultz dubs “the fastest gun in the South.” Typically the black sidekick will help the white main character toward his goal, but the narrative shifts from Django and Schultz trying to hunt bounties to them trying to free Django’s wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) who is being held at Candieland, a plantation run by the nefarious Calvin Candie (Leonardo Dicaprio). Calvin himself is a monster who watches “Mandingo Fighting,” a gladiator–style sport where two slaves fight to the death. Joining Calvin is his house slave Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson) who is the Uncle Tom of the story. Stephen is a slave who is willing to betray his own race in order to gain favor. Once we reach Candieland, all sense of pacing is lost. The film drags unbelievably, and it seems like we hit at least two or three climaxes during this section. This film lacks Tarantino’s ability to bend a narrative to his will and I think it may be his worst constructed film. The scenes with Stephen and Calvin feel like a wasted opportunity to explore an in-

teresting relationship. The fact that Stephen can somewhat exert influence over Calvin is interesting, as is the fact that Stephen essentially betrays his race in order to gain this power. The relationship between Stephen and Django is also interesting but too often Tarantino’s overbearing impulses interrupt these moments, like an ugly monster devouring everything significant the film might have to say. This is never more apparent than the depiction of Mandingo Fighting in the film, which never existed. Of the several articles I’ve read, it seems there is no record of these sorts of matches. The only real record of Mandingo Fighting is of it occurring in a few exploitation films of which Tarantino is so fond but few filmgoers are aware of. So why include Mandingo Fighting in the film? The scene of the slaves fighting is incredibly violent and hard to watch, enough that it eclipses any other violence in a Tarantino film. What possible service could these scenes serve? It can’t be to make Candie any eviler; his nature as a slave owner makes

him plenty evil enough. The only reason I can think of is for Tarantino to give the audience something else to jump at, something else to catch their eye. Tarantino said he wanted to make this movie to “give black American males a Western hero,” which is a noble cause. But “Django Unchained” tries to have its cake and eat it too in terms of its own importance. It wants to create a dialogue on racism and slavery while at the same time being set in a fantasy world of cartoonish violence and altered history. If you really wanted to create a dialogue on slavery and racism, why make these choices? Despite that, I think the film is wrong in how it delivers its message, at least it brings a dialogue of slavery to the table, and it should be commended for that. However, once we are at the table, I don’t think we get very far. The movie is intriguing and entertaining, at least for its first half. For that alone I can recommend going to see it; I just can’t predict what your reaction is quite going to be.

THE SCIENCE OF GETTING DRUNK

THE SCIENCE OF SERIES

This is the first graphic in a series meant to explain how different stimuli common to college students affect the body. Other graphics you will see in the future include the science of falling in love, sleep deprivation, caffeine buzzes and marijuana use.

According to a study by Ball State’s Global Health Institute, one in five 18 to 21 year-olds binge drink. Here is a look at how alcohol moves through the body and affects physical and psychological functions. ALCOHOL AND THE BRAIN

CONSUMPTION AND ABSORPTION Alcohol is diffused into the bloodstream and carried to the water-concentrated parts of the body, such as muscle tissue. Rates of absorption and elimination depend on the amount of food in the stomach, body type and gender. Here is a breakdown of how the body absorbs alcohol.

Intoxication affects different parts of the brain, resulting in impaired activity on both physical and psychological levels. Long-term exposure can lead to tolerance and dependence.

HIPPOCAMPUS

This section is responsible for storing new memories. When alcohol is present, people may experience memory lapses.

HYPOTHALAMUS

When alcohol is introduced into this part of the brain, people may experience intense feelings of satisfaction. This is because the hypothalamus controls hunger, thirst and emotions.

CEREBELLUM

BRAIN STEM

This part of the brain controls movement. While intoxicated, people can experience a loss of coordination.

This part of the brain controls breathing and blood circulation. Excessive drinking can suppress these functions and lead to death.

ESOPHAGUS

EFFECTS ON THE BODY LIVER

HEART LIVER

The primary breakdown of alcohol takes place in the liver. Less than 10 percent is not metabolized, but released through breath, sweat and urine.

STOMACH

About 20 percent of alcohol is absorbed through the stomach.

SMALL INTESTINE

About 80 percent of alcohol is absorbed through the upper portion of the small intestine.

PANCREAS

IMMUNE SYSTEM

Alcohol interferes with electrical currents controlling muscle contractions and cause an irregular heartbeat. Long-term drinking can lead to stretching and drooping of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy), stroke and high blood pressure.

Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) measures grams of ethanol per 100 milliliters of blood in the body. It can depend on the amount of water in the body and rate of alcohol metabolization. Individuals with a BAC of .08 or higher are considered legally drunk in the state of Indiana. Here is a breakdown of impaired activities and changes in feelings and personality as BAC increases. .06 - .10

Relaxation, sense of well being, loss of inhibition

.11 - .20

Pleasure, numbness of feelings, nausea and sleepiness, emotional arousal

.21 - .30

Mood swings, anger, sadness, mania

.31 - .40

Aggression, reduced sensations, depression, stupor

Alcohol causes production of toxic substances that can lead to pancreatitis, the dangerous inflammation of blood vessels that prevents proper digestion.

HEART

BLOOD ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION

.01 - .05

PANCREAS

Accumulation of the toxic byproducts from alcohol during metabolization can cause inflammation (alcoholic hepatitis) or liver scarring (fibrosis or cirrhosis), and potential liver failure.

CANCER

Drinking too much increases the risk of cancer of the mouth, esophagus, throat, liver and breast.

THE “STANDARD” DRINK

In the United States, a single drink is defined as containing about 14 grams of pure alcohol. This amount is equal to: 12 ounces of regular beer (5% alcohol)

.41+

Unconsciousness, coma, potential for death

Drinking too much weakens the immune system. Consuming too much alcohol at once can hinder the body’s ability to protect itself against infection for up to 24 hours after intoxication.

Death

5 ounces of wine (12% alcohol)

1.5 ounces of distilled spirits (40% alcohol)
