According to the American Medical
Association, a 180-pound (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.
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 consumes food just before or
during drinking will have
a
slightly lower
BAC level.

The law in most
U.S.
states sets
the
legal
course, as we’ve seen, it depends
on
limit at a BAC
of
0.10
percent.
In
how much alcohol
is
in
the drinks, and
Canada the limit is 0.08 percent, and
in
how quickly
the
person drinks them.
some other countries it’s lower than that.
But it’s very important to keep
in
mind
The BAC
will
be over
0.10
percent after
that
the
ability
to
drive is affected well
three to six drinks
(in
one hour). Of
below a BAC of 0.10 percent.
