Since alcohol is carried in body water, this means that a

woman generally will reach a higher

BAC

level than

man of her same body weight when each has the same

number of drinks.

The law in many

U.S.

states sets the legal limit at a

BAC

of 0.10 percent. In a growing number of

U.S.

states, and

throughout Canada, the limit is

0.08

percent.

some

other countries, it’s even lower. The

BAC

limit for all

commercial drivers in the United States is

0.04

percent.

It’s the amount of alcohol that counts. For example, if

the same person drank three double martinis

ounces

ml of liquor each) within an hour, the person’s

BAC

would be close to

0.12

percent.

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.

The

BAC

will be over 0.10 percent after three to

six drinks (in one hour). Of course, as we’ve seen,

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

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

0.05

percent or above.

driver with a

BAC

level

0.06

percent has doubled his or her chance of having a

collision. At a

BAC

level of 0.10 percent, the chance

this driver having a collision is 12 times greater; at a

level

0.15 percent, the chance is

times greater!
