![]() ![]() Note that alcohol is absorbed through muscle tissue and not fat.Your weight will affect what your estimated BAC is because typically if you are hydrated, the more you weigh the more water your body will have to dilute alcohol. If his 130-pound female friend decides to match him drink-for-drink during that hour, she would have a BAC of about 0.123%. A 165-pound man who has had four standard beers in one hour will have an estimated BAC of 0.082%.Men's bodies typically contain more body water (61% vs 52%) and will be able to dilute the alcohol more. Alcohol is absorbed differently by men and women.These elements contribute to how quickly your body will metabolize alcohol. Your BAC depends on your gender, age, and your weight. Weigh yourself and factor in your gender and age. Some mixed drinks contain more than one type of alcohol and will contain more alcohol than a standard drink.Thus, your BAC may rise more quickly when drinking hard liquor in place of beer or wine. Be aware that some drinks are made with even stronger potency, like 151 proof rum or grain alcohol. One shot of liquor typically contains 40% alcohol. One standard drink of 80 proof hard liquor is measured as 1.5 ounces.One standard drink of wine ( white, red, rose, and champagne or sparkling wine) is measured as 5 ounces.The average alcohol content of a 5-ounce glass of wine is around 12%.Some imports, malt liquors, and craft beers are stronger (8% – 12% or more). This varies depending on the type of beer, so check the label to be sure. Overall, a standard drink is a drink which contains 14 grams (0.49 oz) of pure alcohol. One standard drink is considered one 12 fl oz beer one 5 fl oz glass of wine one 1.5 fl oz shot of hard liquor.So a standard drink of beer is not only a different amount than a drink of whiskey, it also has a different alcohol content. Different drinks have different percentages of alcohol content, and the size of a "standard" drink differs, as well. Understand how different types of alcohol will affect your BAC.
