According to the American Medical
Association, a 180-pound (82 kg) person
who drinks three 12-ounce (355 ml)
bottles of beer in an hour will end up with
a BAC of about 0.06 percent. The person
would reach the same BAC by drinking
three 4-ounce ( 120 ml) glasses of wine or
three mixed drinks if each had 1
-
1/2
ounces (45 ml) of a liquor like whiskey,
gin or vodka.
It's the amount of alcohol that counts. For
example, if the same person drank three
double martinis (3 ounces or 90 ml of
liquor each) within an hour, the person's
BAC would be close to 0.12 percent. A
person who consumes food just before or
during drinking will have a slightly lower
BAC level.

limit at a BAC of 0.10 percent. In how much alcohol is in the drinks, and
Canada the limit is 0.08 percent, and in
how quickly the person drinks them.
some other countries it's lower than that. But it's very important to keep in mind
The BAC will be over 0.10 percent after that the ability to drive is affected well
three to six drinks (in one hour). Of below a BAC of 0.10 percent.
