According to the American Medical Association, a 180-pounc

;)

person

who drinks three 12-ounce

(355

ml)

bottles of beer in

hour will end up

with a BAC

about

0.06

percent. The person would reach the same BAC by

drinking three LCounce (120

ml)

glasses of wine or three mixed

drinks

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,

the same person

drank

three double martinis

ounces or

of liquor each) within

hour, the

person’s BAC would be close

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

drinks, and how quickly the person

drinks

them.
