  • I was curious how many light beers it would take to get me over the legal limit of .08 so I bought a breathalyzer and decided to find out. #millerlite
    Everyone processes alcohol differently so I highly recommend getting your own breathalyzer so you can have a better idea what that number is for you. For reference I am 220lbs and 5’11”.

    Dude, my brother in law is a police officer that gets to bring his squad car home.
    One thing we’ve done a number of times is bring his breathalyzer in the house during holidays to see where we’re at.
    One Thanksgiving I’d drank 8 Heinekens over about a 6 hour time span, and was still legal. When the kids went to bed, we started drinking moonshine, and things went south from there.

  • @hamhouke
    @hamhouke 7 місяців тому +9

    The BAC is dependent on the amount of alcohol at a specific concentration by volume, your body weight, how long between each beer and how much you have metabolized out of your blood while waiting on the next one, and what is in your stomach to slow absorption. That’s why it’s not linear.

    When I was 17 my friend and I would drive an hour to the city to go to the 16 plus "dance party" at a roller rink. We would usually take shots and stuff before but this one time we poured a full liter of captain morgan silver into two half full big gulps and chugged them down. It kicked in while we were in the line and by the time we got in we were smashed! Went to the floor and started dirty dancing. He lasted about one song and spent the rest of the night puking in the bathroom. I danced my ass off for a few hours and had a blast. Then I had to drive us home an hour away with one headlight out. Got all the way back to town and got pulled over like 9 blocks away from our houses. I blew a .03 which would have been fine if I was 21, but I lost my license for 30 days for getting a "minor while driving". Varsity athletes can metabolize alcohol at alarming rates haha.

    You metabolize about .02 an hour. A typical beer or glass of wine or drink with one oz of alcohol will bump you up .02. Watery light beer slightly less. So the results of this are about right.
    Food intake can affect absorption tho.
    As far as the effects, tolerance is a thing but even for the tolerant reaction times suffer.

    In the following, a drink is defined as a 12oz beer, a 5oz glass of wine or a 1 1/2oz shot of 80 proof liquor. The are some exceptions to the next rule but generally people absorb AND eliminate ethyl alcohol at a rate of one drink per hour. If you only consume one alcoholic drink per hour, your BAC would be 0.000% when you stop. Absorption can be decreased by eating (especially fatty foods) or increased by drinking carbonated alcohol. Breath alcohol does not come from mouth alcohol which evaporates in 10 minutes but rather from your lungs where a blood gas exchange takes place between the alveolar air and the pulmonary capillary. The only way you can prevent lung air from reaching a PBT or other breathalyzer is to refuse the test.

    Keep in mind that even blowing 0.08 can still land you in jail for DUI if you are driving poorly. Since alcohol changes judgement you can make more mistakes. Finally, even one drink increases reaction time. Think of all the times you've had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting someone (usually they pulled in front of you without looking) - all those times you stopped just in time, you would have hit them (or they hit you). That's the risk you take with "moderate" (under 0.08) drinking and driving.
    Remember the rule, one drink = 1 hour delay. It isn't perfect but it will help a lot (assuming you don't have a portable breathalizer).

    Interesting video, well done. I did this at a media event with local police many moons ago. At 185 pounds, we figured my .08 limit was four light beers over two hours and probably max six over four hours. So many other factors though. Weight of individual, food in stomach to slow digestion, amount of alcohol in each beer, tiredness and time all have a bearing... and some people, depending on their health and tolerance, would fail a road sobriety test and be too intoxicated to drive safely well before the .08 mark. Since then, Ontario started pulling people off the road at .05, giving them a "warning" with a 3-day license suspension and $250 fine (plus a couple hundred bucks for court costs). At .08, it's criminal charges, longer suspensions and car impound costs, and the penalties multiply after each incident. There's also an expensive breath test ignition system you have to pay for as well. At 160 pounds, one light beer an hour (maxed at 4) is now my limit.

    It takes the liver approximately 1 hour to process a standard beer. So if you drink 4 beers in an hour your liver will need at least one more hour until you blow. It will only take a couple beers to put you over .08. If you tested yourself an hour later you would be well over .1
