According to the American Medical Association, a 180-pound (82 kg) person
who drinks three 12-ounce
(355
ml)
bottles of beer in an hour will end up
with a BAC of about
0.06
percent. The person would reach the same BAC
by drinking three 4-ounce
(120 ml)
glasses of wine or three mixed drinks
if
each had
142
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.
