Tying the drink to NASCAR drivers, indie bands and extreme sports competitions helps brand Mountain Dew as the soda for people who do their own thing and donât care what others think. âIâm sure Mountain Dew is alienating to a part of the population of the U.S., and weâre totally fine with that,â said Lyons, Mountain Dew's marketing VP.
In simple terms, alcohol ' thins your blood' and helps prevent the build up of clots and bad LDL cholesterol in your arteries. Alcohol favourably alters the balance of fats or lipids in the blood, by stimulating the liver to produce the âgoodâ high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL).
For most people, one ounce of alcohol will produce a .015 blood-alcohol concentration. This means someone with a .015 blood-alcohol level will have little to no alcohol in their bloodstream after 10 hours have passed. So the more you drink, the longer alcohol stays in the system. Liver metabolism rates also affect how alcohol will make you feel if you continue to keep drinking. Once a personâs blood-alcohol levels go above .05 to .055, alcoholâs negative effects start to increase.
