Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The Bloocl Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of someone who is drinking
depends upon four things:
How much alcohol consunlcd
e The drinker’s body weigh1
The amount of food that is consumed before and during drinking
The length c. of time it has taken the drinker to coIwnx the alcohol
According
to the American Medical Association. a 180-pound (82 kg)
person who drinks threc 12-ouncc (355 1111) bottlcs of beer in an hour will
end up with a BAC of about 0.06 percent. The person would reach the
same BAC by drinking three 4-ounce ( 120 1111) glasses of wine or three
mixed drinks if each had 1- 112 ounces (45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey, gin
or vodka.
. ... .
. .. .
It’s the amount of alcohol that counts. For example, if the same person
drank three
double martinis (3 ounces or 90 ml of liquor each) within an
hour, the person’s BAC would be close to 0.12 percent. A person who
consumcs food just before or during drinking will have a somewhat lower
BAC level.
