Blood Alcohol Content: A Major Factor To Recognize
Blood alcohol content is the measurement of the percentage of alcohol in the blood. The legal number for this is different in different states and countries. In United States and Canada you will see that the legal percentage of alcohol is 0.08.
The meaning of this figure is that you will be legally considered as intoxicated if the percentage of alcohol in the blood is less than one tenth of one percent of your blood that is concentrated with alcohol. You cannot measure the blood alcohol content without a breathalyzer.
There are different things and habits that effect the measurement of the blood alcohol content. The most important is what type of alcohol you are taking, what is your tolerance power, what you have eaten before, at the time of drinking and after drinking, your gender, what is the percentage of body fat and many other different things. Your sickness can also change the level of alcohol in blood.
If you are a regular drinker and drink same number of pegs even then your blood alcohol content varies. Suppose you have taken five cans of beer last night and today also you have taken five cans of beer. It is not always possible that your blood alcohol content will be same. If it is .10 last night then it can be .08 today. It depends on many other things. Also if you are hungry, thirsty, tired or have taken less of different alcohol than last night then your blood alcohol content may vary.
There is no spread sheet on internet or any other way from which you can download and check the level of alcohol in the blood. Even there is no mathematical calculation to calculate the blood alcohol content. This is only because of the changes that take place in the body.
You try hard to instantly reduce the level of alcohol in blood like drinking a lot of coffee, doing a lot of physical exercise, bathing under cold water, eating a lot of pickles, drinking a lot of lemon juice, etc. This is just total waste of time and money. All you have to do is to wait for around one day and you will get to know that the level of alcohol in the blood is reducing. This means the level of alcohol in the blood can only be reduced by passing time. It can take one to four days or more to clear out the level of alcohol in the blood. There is no other way.
The best way to measure the blood alcohol content is taking the sample of blood and measuring the content of alcohol. This test is 100% accurate and there is no need for conversion. You will get the accurate blood alcohol content without any variation.
The safest thing to do is do not ever drive after drinking. If it is so urgent then you can take the help of someone who is not drunk.
