Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Police records show that almost  half  of all motor 
vehicle-related deaths involve alcohol.  In  most cases, 
these deaths  are the result  of someone  who  was drinking 
and  driving. 
In recent  years, some 17,000 annual motor 
vehicle-related deaths have  been associated  with  the  use 
of  alcohol,  with  more  than 
300,000 people injured. 
Many  adults 
-- by some estimates,  nearly  half the adult 
population 
-- choose never to drink alcohol, so they 
never drive after drinking. For  persons  under 
21, it’s 
against the  law  in every 
U.S. state to drink alcohol. 
There are good medical, psychological  and 
developmental reasons  for these laws. 
The  obvious  way to solve this  highway safety problem 
is for people never  to drink  alcohol  and  then  drive. But 
what  if  people do? How  much  is  “too much”  if the 
driver plans to drive?  It’s a lot less  than  many  might 
think. Although  it depends  on each  person  and  situation, 
here 
is some general information  on the  problem.  The 
Blood  Alcohol Concentration  (BAC) of someone 
who  is drinking depends  upon four things: 
0 The amount of alcohol consumed 
0 The drinker’s  body  weight 
0 The amount  of food  that is consumed  before  and 
during drinking 
consume  the  alcohol. 
0 The length  of time  it has  taken  the drinker  to 
According  to the  American  Medical  Association, a 
180-lb.  (82 kg)  person  who  drinks three  12-ounce 
(355 ml) bottles  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 ml) glasses 
of  wine 
or three  mixed  drinks if each  had 1 - 1/2 ounces 
(45 ml)  of  a liquor like whiskey,  gin or vodka.
