Factors that can affect a person's BAC: Any amount will impair- any amount will impair a driving ability
1. Gender - alcohol does not affect men and women equally. Women reach a peak of BAC about 20% higher then men. Research indicates that alcohols effects on females tend to be stronger and last longer.
2. Body weight - your weight affects the percentage of alcohol in your blood. A heavier person has more body fluids with which the alcohol will mix, and thus have a lower BAC
3. Strength of the drink- Stronger the beverage consumed, the higher BAC will rise.
4. Size of Drink - A larger drink will contain more alcohol and result in a higher BAC than a smaller drink of the same alcohol strength
5. Food - Food in stomach does not absorb alcohol, but it can slow the rate at which alcohol is absorbed; but all the alcohol consumed eventually gets into your blood
6. Time spent drinking - Faster the drink is consumed, the more quickly BAC will reach its peak.

List and explain the three ways alcohol is eliminated by the body.
1. Breathing - approximately 8% of alcohol is eliminated by breathing. This is why you might be able to detect the odor of an alcoholic beverage on a drinker's breath
2. Sweat/Perspiring - about 2% of alcohol is eliminated by sweating. It maybe possible to detect the odor of an alcoholic beverage on a drinker's body
3. Oxidation - the majority of alcohol is removed by the liver as it burns up the alcohol through the process of oxidation (90%)

Define "BAC" and explain it's relationship to driving ability.
* BAC stands for Blood Alcohol Concentration, is the percentage of alcohol in the bloodstream. Alcohol impairs the central nervous system.
* The greater the BAC, the greater the risk of being involved in a fatal crash.
* Certain levels of BAC are unlawful to drive under Like .01-.02
* Young drivers between the ages of 16 and 19 with a BAC of .02 to .05% are at least seven times more likely to be killed in a crash in a sober driver of any age.
