What are depressants and hallucinogens? Depressants cause the bodily functions to slow down. Initial side effects include slurred speech, dizziness, and a loss of coordination. The most commonly-used depressants generally fall into two classes: Barbituates and benzodiazepines, but also include alcohol, narcotics (derivatives of opiates) and sedative-hypnotics, as well as tranquilizers (such as ketamine and PCP). The general group of pharmacological agents commonly known as hallucinogens can be divided into three broad categories: Psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants. These classes of psychoactive drugs have in common that they can cause changes in perception, thought, emotion, and consciousness. Hallucinogens do not merely amplify familiar states of mind, but rather induce experiences that are qualitatively different from those of ordinary consciousness.

What is pre-gaming? Pregaming is dangerous because it causes students to drink for longer periods of time (before the bar/party as well as while at the bar/party), and may lead to alcohol poisoning or binge drinking.

These three factors affect your blood alcohol level.
What are time, weight, and gender? Time: Blood Alcohol Level is reduced by .016% every hour, but the more you drink, the longer it takes to reduce. Gender: Women become more impaired than men do after drinking the same amount of alcohol, even when differences in body weight are taken into account. This is because women's bodies have less water than men's bodies. Because alcohol mixes with body water, a given amount of alcohol becomes more highly concentrated in a woman's body than in a man's. In other words, it would be like dropping the same amount of alcohol into a much smaller pail of water. That is why the recommended drinking limit for women is lower than that of men. Women also have less dehydrogenase, a liver enzyme that breaks down alcohol, than men. So a woman's body will break down alcohol more slowly than a man's.

What is the first drink? The brain, liver, heart, pancreas, lungs, kidneys, and every other organ and tissue system are infiltrated by alcohol within minutes of the first moment in which it passes into the blood stream. The strength of the drink will have a significant effect on absorption rates, with higher concentrations of alcohol resulting in more rapid absorption. Pure alcohol is generally absorbed much faster than diluted alcohols, which are, in turn, absorbed faster than wine or beer.

It can take your brain this long to return to normal after imbibing marijuana.
What is "up to three weeks"? The THC in marijuana is readily absorbed by fatty tissues in various organs.

What is "decide or control how much a losing player has to drink"? Drinking games are designed to be competitive, fun, and social. They get people together and talking. However, they can become dangerous when you are competing against people who do not have your best interests at heart. If you do not know the people you are playing against (and sometimes even if you do) they may be playing not just for fun but for other motives. Sometimes it is to see how much they can make you drink, regardless of the danger to you. Sometimes it is to see if they can make the other person puke. Sometimes, it might even be to see if they can make someone drink enough to incapacitate them, rendering them unable to resist sexual advances.

Marijuana directly affects the area of the brain that controls these two functions that begin with the letter "M".
What are "Memory" and "Motivation"? When someone uses marijuana, chemicals travel through the bloodstream an dquickly attach to receptors on the brain's nerve cells, which receive information from other nerve cells and chemicals. When a receptor receives information, it causes changes in the nerve cell. One region of the brain that contains a lot of THC receptors is the hippocampus, which processes memory. When THC attaches to receptors in the hippocampus, it weakens short-term memory. The hippocampus also communicates with other brain regions that process new information into long-term memory. In the brain, under the influence of marijuana, new information may never register -- and may be lost from memory. Some frequent, long-term marijuana users show signs of a lack of motivation (amotivational syndrome). Their problems include not caring about what happens in their lives, no desire to work regularly, fatigue, and a lack of concern about how they look. As a result of these symptoms, some users tend to perform poorly in school or at work. Scientists are still studying these problems.
