| 9555772870 | Elimination of alcohol or toxins | Two ways: oxidation and excretion | 54 | |
| 9555772871 | Oxidation of alcohol | Takes place in the liver - combination of oxygen and enzyme that is converted in carbon dioxide and water - most alcohol goes this way | 55 | |
| 9555772872 | Excretion of alcohol | leaves the body unchanged through breath, sweat or urine - burn off rate varies about is about .015 w/v/hr | 56 | |
| 9555772873 | Field Sobriety Tests | 1. Psychological test - horizontal gaze/pen light to determine if eye jerk and walk and turn/one-leg stand 2. Breath test - oxidizes alcohol in breath to create electricity | 57 | |

| 9555772875 | Blood-Alcohol Laws | initially recommended BAC of .15, but realized too high so dropped it to .08 (.08 = five times more likely to get into accident) | 59 | |
| 9555772876 | Constitutional Issues | Fifth Amendment - self incrimination - you can refused the test, but that is implied consent and you lose your License for period of time. | 60 | |
| 9555772877 | Confirmation Tests | GC and MS Infrared Spectrophotometry | 61 | |
| 9555772833 | Effects of Ecstasy | - creates sense of empathy and insightfulness Induces the production of serotonin Increases body temperature, nausea and anxiety Often leads to seizures, muscle breakdown, kidney and liver failure, serious damage to your brain that controls memory | 62 | |
