Angie wants to go with her boyfriend to a bar and drink some beer, but she does not want to become intoxicated because she needs to drive them both home after 2 hours. She weighs 120 pounds. What advice can you give her based on the information in the
textbook?
What will be an ideal response?
The best advice is to not drink any alcohol at all if she is going to be the driver because alcohol absorption is relatively fast and impairment can begin within about 15 minutes. Since she weighs 120 pounds and will be there for 2 hours, she will most likely be able to have no more than two drinks, but even so she may still be impaired. She might try eating some food with her drinks because food can dilute the alcohol and slow its absorption. She should also avoid carbonated drinks because they increase the rate of alcohol absorption.
