Question
Jurriaan,
How alcohol affects the body is often stated in terms of how many drinks are consumed in an hour, but most people drink over the course of an evening.
Is there any information available about how many drinks the average person could consume in two hours, for instance, and remain under the legal limit for driving? How about three, four or five?
Also, how long does it take for the average person to lower their boc to legal levels after various levels of consumption?
Thanks,
Paul
