To do this activity, I calculated my BAC based off a 12 oz regular beer that contains about 5% alcohol. As a result, my expected BAC after 2 standard drinks within 1 hour was 0.06% and my BAC after 5 standard drinks within 3 hours was 0.1425%. I was very surprised by the findings of this activity and I think what shocked me the most was reading the different predictable effects. For instance, for someone whose BAC is between .05% and .07% is buzzed, minor impairment of reasoning and memory, and driving becomes impaired. On the other hand, the predictable effects for someone whose BAC is between a .11% and .15% is considering drunk, has gross motor impairment, and judgement and perception is severely impaired. This does change how I think about
