Tag: Alcohol concentration

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, alcohol enters your bloodstream almost immediately, but the rate of absorption can vary significantly. Factors such as the drink's composition greatly influence which type of drink will drive your BAC up faster.

According to the World Health Organization, 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood, commonly written as a BAC of 0.05%, is a legal driving limit in many countries. However, this metric is often misunderstood, as its translation into physical effects can vary dramatically from person to person. The number itself represents a specific concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream, not an absolute quantity consumed.
