1. What is Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) and how does it relate to driving a vehicle?  

BAC levels refers to the percent of alcohol in a person’s bloodstream. When your blood alcohol level gets too high, it interferes with your body functions which makes driving a vehicle extremely dangerous because your body is not alert and not in full control.  

2. Give two examples of how your intellect and judgment change as BAC increases.

Two examples include your body size and physical condition which changes when your BAC increases.

3. Give two examples of how your emotions change as BAC increases.

Alcohol intoxication and anger arousal have both been implicated in the occurrence of aggression, and the ability to regulate your emotions may interact with both alcohol intoxication and emotional arousal to predict dating aggression.

4. Give two examples of how your interaction with others is affected at BAC increases.

Alcohol or your BAC is affected by mistrust, lack of communications, and issues around your loved ones and children. Alcohol interferes with many relationships oftentimes because it makes you do things you don’t intend.

5. Identify 3 driving skills that are affected with increased BAC

When you have too much alcohol in your system, this may affect your driving skills such as concentration, visual acuity, and reaction time. When your brain doesn’t function correctly, it interferes with your ability to focus and comprehend what you are doing.

6. Legally in most states, at what BAC are you considered DUI (or DWI)?

8. What is the difference between “proof” and “percentage of alcohol?” (You might have to look on the web for this.)

The difference is that Proof is defined as twice the alcohol (ethanol) content by volume. For example, a whisky with 50% alcohol is 100-proof whiskey. Anything 120-proof would contain 60% alcohol, and 80-proof means 40% of the liquid is alcohol.  

9. How much alcohol is in a 2 oz serving of a liquor that is 40 percent alcohol? (This is not a research question. It is simple math.)  

0.8oz of alcohol is in a 2oz serving of a liquor with 40% alcohol.

10. If the liver breaks down about 0.4 oz of alcohol in one hour, how long will it take to rid the body of all the alcohol from the drink in #9? (Same as #9.)

The liver can process one ounce of liquor in one hour. So it would take four hours to clean the body of alcohol.

11. If a girl weighs 120 pounds and has three drinks in one hour, what will her BAC be? How will she be affected?  

The girl’s BAC in one hour would be 0.13%. At this point, her blood level is quite high and would be affected by slurred speech, blurred vision, loss of coordination and balance, and potentially dysphoria.
