I was taught every shot raises your BAC .03 & every hour you burn off .015.


It takes roughly an hour for all the alcohol you consumed to get into your blood stream. Those stats are for a person who weighs 150 lbs. Using the stats I said, if you have 4 shots in the first few minutes of the hour so that it had time to get into your blood stream, you’d have raised your BAC to .12 by the end of the hour but your body would have burned off .015 in the hour so your BAC would be .12 - .015 = .105. By the end of the second hour you would’ve burned off another .015 so your BAC go from .105 - .015 = .09 Still over the legal BAC so you would be smart not drink & drive. After the 3rd hour If would drop another .015 down to .075. The weight of the person plus food & tolerance can also have an effect. Personally, I also can tell a difference if I’m really tired vs well rested too.
