BAC expressed as a percentage: Answer- A widely accepted estimate of BAC is two standard drinks consumed in one hour result in a BAC of approximately 0.04%. Further consumption of one drink per hour will sustain that level.
Legal BAC limit to operate a motor vehicle: Answer- An individual is considered to be driving while intoxicated if the BAC meets or exceeds .08%. There are numerous factors that affect intoxication including: Answer- Rate. The rate at
which alcohol is consumed determines how quickly the alcohol enters the bloodstream. A well-functioning liver is capable of processing about ½ ounce of alcohol per hour. Consuming more than this will increase alcohol levels in the bloodstream.
Weight and Body Fat. In general, someone that is heavier requires greater amounts of alcohol to reach a higher BAC. But body fat actually contributes to higher BAC than does muscle, so this generalization is not always accurate.
Body Water. The amount of water in an individual's body also affects the level of intoxication that may occur. The water in the average male's body is estimated at 58%, while a woman is estimated to have about 49% water. In general, the more water in the body, the more alcohol it takes to reach a higher BAC.

that is weakened from illness, injury or other stressors.
Mental State & Environment. Alcohol tends to exaggerate emotion, so an individual's state of mind can affect intoxication. The level of comfort the person feels in their surroundings may also affect the rate of drinking and overall intoxication. A party at the local bar versus a cocktail party at an upscale lounge may produce different BACs due to anticipation or anxiety.
Drug Use. The use of any medication, such as prescription, over the counter, illicit or unrecognized drugs when mixed with alcohol may produce unwanted physical reactions. Be aware and cautious of the additive and synergistic effects of combining drugs with alcohol.
Age. As people age, so do their organs. Liver function may be less efficient in older people, so their ability to process alcohol will be diminished.
Tolerance. Regular drinking can lead to a condition known as tolerance. This means the
individual's bo
