According to the American Medical Association,
a 180 lb (82 kg) person who drinks three 12 ounce
the person’s BAC would be close to 0.12 percent.
A person who consumes food just before or during
drinking will have a somewhat lower BAC level.
(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
There is a gender difference, too. Women generally
have a lower relative percentage of body water
than men. Since alcohol is carried in body water, this
means that a woman generally will reach a higher BAC
level than a man of her same body weight will when
each has the same number of drinks.
(45
ml) of liquors like whiskey, gin, or vodka.
The law in most U.S. states, and throughout Canada,
sets the legal limit at 0.08 percent. In some other
countries, the limit is even lower. For example, it is
0.05
percent in both France and Germany. The
BAC limit for all commercial drivers in the United States
is 0.04 percent.
The BAC will be over 0.10 percent after three to
six drinks (in one hour). Of course, as we have seen,
it depends on how much alcohol is in the drinks,
and how quickly the person drinks them.
But 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
percent, and that the effects are worse at night. All
drivers are impaired at BAC levels above 0.05 percent.

It is 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,
