Legal Aspects of Alcohol

By Michael Rakoski

BAC:

Teens vs. Adults

BAC or Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is the amount of alcohol in a person’s blood.

BAC:

Teens vs. Adults

  • Teens: It takes less alcohol to make a teen drunk (increase BAC) because their brains are less developed and their bodies are smaller.
  • Fact: It's illegal for teens and younger adults (under 21) to get a BAC of .01 and above according to the zero tolerance law for driving.
  • Adults: Because of adults fully developed minds and larger bodies, it takes more alcohol to get them druck (increase BAC).
  • Fact: Driving for adults (above 21) is illegal with a BAC of .8 and above.

4 factors for BAC levels

4 factors for BAC levels

  • Body Type- When someone has a heavy weight, they need more alcohol to equal the amount of BAC of a lighter person.
  • Drink Strength- The more alcohol in the drink, the more alcohol in your system.
  • Gender- Women usually have less water in their badies than men. The BAC is high because more alcohol is consumed into the blood.
  • Rate of Consumption- The faster you on consume alcohol, the faster alcohol enters the blood.
