That is correct!
It's open container laws which prohibit passengers from having open alcoholic beverages in the vehicle. Zero tolerance laws mean that no amount of alcohol is allowed in the driver's system, and this is typically applied only to people under the legal drinking age.
Alcohol tolerance refers to responses to the effects of ethanol in alcoholic beverages. This includes the speed of recovery from insobriety and resistance to alcoholism.

If an alcoholic has a bac of .523, how would that affect them?
Stage 1
Not a very well worded question, but I assume you mean do you become impared upon the first sip. Technically no. A small sip of even pure alcohol won't affect your general ability to operate a vehicle. However, depending on your tolerance, weight and other factors, a small amount from a quarter drink could impare you. Technically, if you are extremely allergic or sensitive to alcohol, then a sip can impair you, but that is not likely.
It varies depending on the persons tolerance and body mass.
Yes
I'll answer half of the question. Ethanol is the alcohol that is in alcoholic beverages -- liquor, beer, wine, etc. There are too many variables to answer the second part of the question. The amount of ethanol necessary to intoxicate depends on the concentration of the ethanol, the weight of the person, whether they are male or female, what they have eaten before imbibing, their tolerance to alcohol, etc.
Probably, the person has certainly developed a high level of alcohol tolerance.
Very little people write on WikiAnswers when they have been drinking an alcoholic beverage. Most people who have been drinking an alcoholic beverage do not go to WikiAnswers to answer a question. If people have been drinking an alcoholic beverage, they have little tolerance to even get on the computer, if even use WikiAnswers at all.
