Since I dont really get the BAC scores, is .12 like 1 more drink then he should have had? From the .08

A lot of it changes from person to person.


The goalie of the NHL team here was busted for DUI in Arizona. So the radio host I now work for and his regular producer (who I am covering for) did a show one day where they drank throughout the whole 4 hour show. They started off with a shot and then had drinks at scheduled times, both drinking the exact same thing.
They tested their BAC at regular intervals as well.
The producer's (female... tall and slim) BAC was much higher than the host's (6ft, muscular and very fit).

I'm just guessing he weighs 180 for this excericise, but .12 would be about 1 1/12 drinks more than a .08 at that weight.

BAC levels vary with weight. If you weigh about 180, a .12 is about 5 drinks per the standardized size, at 120 lbs 3-4 drinks would get you the same. If you're in a restaurant or bar with the larger oversized glasses you're having more than one 'drink' in a glass.

and your BAC will go down 0.01 every 40 minutes after you stop drinking.

Not wanting to be sanctimonious (haha) but drinking & driving. Just don't.



When I was breathalysed after an accident the local police reemed me for having ONE beer at 9-10pm & this was @ 2-3am (I wasn't over the limit), if I'm driving I don't drink.

This is why I'm glad I don't drive. Our limit is lower (0.05) but even at that low limit I would be smashed. I feel tipsy after 1 glass of wine, enough that I won't start a glass until I'm almost finished cooking dinner because if I polished one off too quickly I'd end up cutting or burning myself.

And I'm not a tiny person, 166 cm and on the beefier side (like Coco without the fake boobs or magnificent elegance) but I must have a low tolerance.

Do you have permanent camel-toe? That might have something to do with it.

[faithanne]

I wish! But if I want to emulate Coco that's gotta be my goal.

Exactly which is why (I think) that I got the lecture on having one drink & driving.
