hopefully you mean .05 which is less than the legal limit, and therefore makes you not drunk in a legal sense. 0.5 is often the point of death though people have been known to survive up into the 0.7 range
Alcohol
.08 BAC
Inhaling alcohol fumes can lead to intoxication and potentially cause harm, but it is unlikely to result in the same level of intoxication as drinking alcohol.
blood alcohol level is the percent of alcohol in the blood at any given time. i would imagine in forensic science could use this to determine maybe a cause of death. For example if someone is killed by a drunk driver including the driver. forensics could determine the cause of the accident was drunk driving related. They would take a sample of blood and determine there was a percentage of alcohol in it (blood alcohol level). If the level was high enough they could determine that it was the cause of the accident, or somehow related.
No, only time will reduce the level of alcohol in a person's body.
It varies with individuals. Generally, a blood alcohol level of 0.6% or greater is considered to be potentially fatal.
Tolerance refers to the blood alcohol level necessary to cause impairment of mental and physical function. As alcoholism develops, the ability to tolerate alcohol also increases.
Depending on the state, it can be as low as .05, or as high as .08 to .1
No
No, blood alcohol level and breath alcohol level are not the same. Blood alcohol level is a direct measurement of the amount of alcohol in the blood, while breath alcohol level is an indirect measurement based on the amount of alcohol in the breath, which is correlated with blood alcohol level.
A BAC of .167 is twice as high as a maximum legal .08 and three times as high as a maximum legal level of .05. In short, it is very high.
