Stages of Alcohol Influence describe how increasing blood alcohol concentration (BAC) affects the body and behavior. These stages range from mild euphoria to life-threatening intoxication. Here's a breakdown based on clinical observations and Dubowski’s classification:

🧠 1. Dry and Decent
BAC: less than 1 mg/mL

Effects: Minimal or no noticeable influence. Normal behavior and coordination.

😄 2. Delighted and Devilish
BAC: 1–2 mg/mL

Effects: Mild euphoria, lowered inhibitions, talkativeness, slight impairment in judgment and coordination.

😒 3. Delinquent and Disgusting
BAC: 2–3 mg/mL

Effects: Noticeable impairment in motor skills, slurred speech, poor judgment, emotional instability.

😵 4. Dizzy and Delirious
BAC: 3–4 mg/mL

Effects: Confusion, dizziness, staggering, possible vomiting, risk of injury due to poor coordination.

😔 5. Dazed and Dejected
BAC: 4–5 mg/mL

Effects: Severe intoxication, stupor, possible unconsciousness, depressed vital functions.

☠️ 6. Dead Drunk
BAC: greater than 5 mg/mL

Effects: Life-threatening. Risk of coma, respiratory failure, and death.

⚠️ Important Notes
Tolerance varies: Regular drinkers may show fewer symptoms at higher BACs.

BAC depends on: Body weight, gender, food intake, rate of consumption, and alcohol type.

Legal limits: Most countries set driving limits around 0.5–0.8 mg/mL (or 0.05–0.08%).
