What is problem gambling?
For most people, gambling is just another form of entertainment, like watching a movie or a football game. But for some, gambling becomes more than recreation. It becomes a problem that affects other areas of their lives, from their careers to their families.
People with gambling problems tend to bet more than they can afford to lose, max out credit cards and borrow money to gamble. In most cases they will deny having a problem, continuing to chase losses while isolating themselves from family and friends. Problem gamblers usually need to bet more money, more frequently, to get the same thrill as someone without a problem. Locked in denial, they keep rolling the dice despite suffering serious consequences.
Problem gambling comes in many forms. For example, some people might be able to play the slot machines at a casino with no problem, but have a problem with sports betting. Others are "binge gamblers" who may only bet once or twice a year, but completely lose control when they do gamble.

Blood alcohol content (BAC), also called blood alcohol concentration, blood ethanol concentration, or blood alcohol level is most commonly used as a metric of alcohol intoxication for legal or medical purposes.
Blood alcohol content is usually expressed as a percentage of alcohol (generally in the sense of ethanol) in the blood. For instance, a BAC of 0.10 means that 0.10% (one tenth of one percent) of a person's blood, by volume (usually, but in some countries by mass), is alcohol.
