- THIS IS THE FIRST CHART I SAW--
- SOMEONE LET THE CAL POLY STUDENT LEAVE A HOUSE OR BAR OR WHATEVER AND GET IN HER CAR. IS THERE ANY PUNISHMENT FOR LETTING A FRIEND DRIVE HOME DRUNK, REALLY DRUNK?
- A BAC in the range of .37 to .40 or higher can cause death.
- Most people begin to feel relaxed, sociable and talkative when BAC reaches 0.04.
- Judgment, attention and control are somewhat impaired at 0.05, and the ability to drive safely begins to be limited.
- At 0.25 to 0.30, drinkers have near total loss of motor functions, little response to stimuli and may lose consciousness or be unable to stand or walk.
- A 120-pound woman would have to consume seven drinks in an hour to reach a BAC of 0.30. The same woman would be at 0.35 with 10 drinks in an hour. Two drinks in an hour would bring her BAC to 0.08, the legal limit for driving.
"That truth should be silent I had almost forgot"--Enobarbus in ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, back in Rome after having been too long in Egypt.--------- Melville's PIERRE, Book 4, chapter 5: "Something ever comes of all persistent inquiry; we are not so continually curious for nothing."
