"It totally mellows me out to smoke a little weed after I throw back a few beers." REALITY: Mixing drugs--including drugs like alcohol and marijuana--has what scientists call an "additive effect." This means you'll feel the intoxication from both. So don't kid yourself into thinking you'll have a few drinks and then "mellow out" by smoking pot. Sure, you may feel mellow, but what you really are is wasted.
When you look at the various blood alcohol concentration levels, physical alcohol abuse effects include: Loss of Muscle Control - When the person reaches a .10 blood alcohol concentration level, their speech will begin to sound slurred.
