Could someone solve for a 205lb man drinking 3.7% session brown ale?

22 oz glasses. I skimmed the math but didn't really follow it.

It will take you 2.75 beers (22oz) to reach a bac of .08 and takes you 3.25 hours to digest each beer.

Thank you very much!

I'm not sure where he got the part about multiplying your BAC by 10. If you had 1% ABW blood, you'd be dead.

Are you basing that you'd be dead with 1% abw blood on anything other than your own intuition?

[–] 4 points5 points  (6 children)

Anything above .4% is considered possibly fatal. 1% is nearly guaranteed

You are confusing terms, read the wikipedia link someone posted below, it explains it very clearly

You mean this wiki link? Cause it actually explains pretty well that the units on breathlyzers isn't the same as the unit referring to blood.

Section 5. Units of measurement of article Blood alcohol content:

There are several different units in use around the world for defining blood alcohol concentration. Each is defined as either a mass of alcohol per volume of blood or a mass of alcohol per mass of blood (never a volume per volume). 1 milliliter of blood is approximately equivalent to 1.06 grams of blood. Because of this, units by volume are similar but not identical to units by mass. In the U.S. the concentration unit 1% w/v (percent mass/volume, equivalent to 10g/l or 1 g per 100 ml) is in use. This is not to be confused with the amount of alcohol measured on the breath, as with a breathalyzer. The amount of alcohol measured on the breath is generally accepted as proportional to the amount of alcohol present in the blood at a rate of 1:2100. Therefore, a breathalyzer measurement of 0.10 mg/L of breath alcohol converts to 0.021 g/210L of breath alcohol, or 0.021 g/dL of blood alcohol (the units of the BAC in the United States). While a variety of units (or sometimes lack thereof) is used throughout the world, many countries use the g/L unit, which do not create confusion as percentages do. Usual units are highlighted in the table below.
