Factors that Affect BAC

Submitted by Be Safe Sollutions on

Blood alcohol content (BAC) is the amount of alcohol per unit of blood in the bloodstream. Alcohol that is consumed is absorbed by the body in the stomach and small intestine and enters the bloodstream. The blood alcohol content can be measured within 30 to 70 minutes of consumption. Approximately one-half ounce of alcohol can be found in one shot of distilled spirits, one 12-ounce beer or one 5-ounce glass of wine. Different factors affect the body’s absorption of the alcohol.

The effects of alcohol intoxication are greatly influenced by individual variations among users. Some users may become intoxicated at a much lower Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level than is shown.

0.02-0.03 BAC: No loss of coordination, slight euphoria and loss of shyness. Depressant effects are not apparent. Mildly relaxed and maybe a little lightheaded.
