What does B.A.C stand for?

Blood alcohol concentration: the percentage of alcohol related to the total amount of blood in the body.– For example: 1 drop

of alcohol per 999 drops of blood equals .10 BAC per every 1,000 drops of fluid.

What does B.A.C stand for?

Alcohol content: the amount of alcohol consumed. – For example: one 12

ounce beer is .57 ounce of alcohol consumed or one shot of 80 proof whiskey is .40 ounce alcohol consumed.

– Driving ability can be affected by only one drink

FoodFood The amount of food in your stomach does very little to reduce the effect alcohol has on the brain and liver.

However, food does coat the lining of the stomach and slows absorption into the blood stream.

Note: When alcohol is mixed with carbonated beverages the absorption rate is faster because gases are absorbed faster than liquids.
