Drinks

Every BAC estimate starts from grams of alcohol, and a US standard drink is 14 g. The standard drink size page converts beer, wine and spirits pours into grams and compares the drink units other countries use. BAC after one beer shows what a single 12 oz, 5% beer adds at each body weight. The 0.08 guide turns weights from 120 to 240 lb into drink counts at 1 and 3 hours. How many drinks to get drunk describes typical effects over 2 hours and how tolerance can mask them.
