-2. People who have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher and are considered "legally impaired".
-3. Pregnant women should only consume moderate amounts of alcohol.
-4. People who have consumed alcohol often feel very relaxed and happy, and are therefore less likely to show aggression.
-5. Each year alcohol use contributes to over 4,300 deaths of people under age 21 in the United States.
-6. Alcohol poisoning can cause permanent damage.
-7. Children of alcoholics are less likely to develop a problem with alcohol when they are adults.
-8. High School and College students tend to overestimate their peers' frequency of and comfort with alcohol use.
