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 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 168 DRINKING THAT WILL RESULT IN A BAC OF 05 IN THE TIME SHOWN i00 120 140 160 250 220 240 BODY WEIGHT iN POUNDS 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 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 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 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 an accident increases sharply for drivers who have BAC of 0 05 percent or above A driver with a BAC level of 0 06 percent three beers in one hour for a 180 pound or 82
