According to the American Medical Association, a 180 lb

(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 liquors

like whiskey, gin, or vodka.

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, 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.

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.

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

0.05 percent, and that the effects are worse at night. All

drivers are impaired at BAC levels above 0.05 percent.

Statistics show that the chance of being in a collision

increases sharply for drivers who have a BAC of

0.05 percent or above.
