8 7 a; According to the American Medical Association, a 180-pound kg) (82 person who drinks three 12-ounce (355 ml) bottles of beer in an hour will end up witha BAC of about 0.06 percent. The person would reach same BAC the by drinking three 4-omce (120 ml) glasses of wine or three mixed drhh if each had 1-1/2 ounces (45 of a ml) liquor like whiskey, or vodka. gin It'sthe amount o alcohol that counts. f For example,if the same person drank three double martinis(3 ounces or90 ml of liquor each) within hour, the an person's BAC would close to 0.12 be percent. A person who consumes food just before or during drinking will have a slightly lower BAC level. 4 3 2 1 The law in most U.S. states sets the legal limitat a BAC of 0.10 percent. In Canada the limit is 0.08 percent, andin some other countries it's lower than that. The BAC will be over 0.10 percent after three to six drinks(in one hour). Of course, as we've seen, it depends on how much alcohol is the d r i n k s , and in how quicklythe person drinks them. But it's very important keep in mind to that theability to drive is affected well below a BAC of 0.10 percent. Research shows that the driving skills of many people are impaired at a BAC approaching 0.05 percent, and that the 125

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-omce (120
ml)
glasses
of
wine or three mixed
drhh
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
limit at a BAC
of
0.10
percent.
In
Canada the limit
is
0.08
percent,
and
in
some other countries
it’s
lower
than
that. The BAC
will
be
over
0.10
percent
after three
to
six
drinks
(in
one hour).
Of
course, as we’ve seen, it depends on
how
much
alcohol
is
in
the
d r i n k s ,
and
how
quicklythe person
drinks
them.
But
it’s
very
important
to keep in mind
that
the ability to drive
is
affected
well
below a BAC
of
0.10
percent.
Research
shows that the driving
skills
of
many
people are impaired at
a
BAC
approaching
0.05
percent, and that
