We are all aware of the ramifications of having a too high BAC (Blood Alcohol Content/ Concentration) to drive legally-MM recommends no drinking and driving-but do we really know how much alcohol in what period of time will put us over the legal limit? Take a look at the tables, below, to check your blood alcohol content limits.
Even if we don’t drink and drive, and we know you won’t, an elevated BAC can have other damaging and painful results.
What level of BAC makes us think we’re John Travolta on the dance floor? Is it the same level that has us sending “I love you, I really love you!” texts to our old high school flame at 4 a.m.? (Our partner, Checkup and Choices, has a great BAC Levels and their Detailed Effects table).
BAC plays a very important role in maintaining moderate drinking levels, too. How much do we have to drink in what period of time to go from in control to “Just one more.” to “I deserve a break from all this planning and counting and timing”—to regret?
