Which factor determines how quickly alcohol affects a driver?
- A.Only the type of music playing
- B.The color of the drink
- C.Whether the drinks were mixed or straight only
- D.Body weight, amount of food, and how fast the drinks are consumed, among others
Correct answer
D. Body weight, amount of food, and how fast the drinks are consumed, among others
Why
BAC depends on the amount of alcohol, body size, food in the stomach, and drinking speed. Because these vary, counting drinks is not a safe way to judge legality.
