WHAT IS CONSIDERED A DRINK:
A drink that contains a half-ounce of alcohol or more. The amount you would
problibly find in a 12 ounce can of beer, 4 ounce glass of table wine, 1 ounce shot of
100% destilled spirits such as whiskey or vodka. Generally this is the amount of alcohol a
person can metabolize in about an hour. But of course it also depends on other stuff.
The way to see the amount of alcohol in someone is the Blood Alcohol Content.
The Blood Alcohol Content is measured in milligrams percent.
For example, a BAC of 10 means that one-tenth of 1% of your total blood content is
alcohol.This means that a BAC of 0.5 and below may give you a little buzz;a BAC of .50
