Variation In Blood Alcohol Content
Sharon Jhonson | January 28, 2010Blood alcohol content is measurement of the level of alcohol in blood. There are different figures set by government of different countries. In United States and Canada the figure 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.
Blood alcohol content is varied by many different things. 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. Due to these things your blood alcohol content varies. If you are sick even then your blood alcohol content changes.
Suppose you are a regular drinker. You drank five beer cans last night and checked the amount of alcohol in blood. You saw that it is .10. Now again today you drank five beers cans and checked the level of alcohol in blood. You checked and it comes out to be .13. Yes the change is due to many different factors in the body. Even if you are hungry, the blood alcohol content changes. This means a small change in the body changes the level of alcohol in the blood.
You cannot download any sheet or anything from internet which can tell you your blood alcohol content. Also there is no mathematical calculation which can calculate blood alcohol content. This is because of change in many different things in body.
There are many myths for the reduction of blood alcohol content in the body. These are 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. Everything is waste of time and money. It will not reduce the level of alcohol in the blood. The only thing which can reduce the level of alcohol in the blood is time. Yes it is time. As the time passes the level of alcohol in the blood also reduces.
If you want to check the accurate content of blood in alcohol then the best thing you can do is have a blood test. In this the sample of blood is taken and is tested for the level of alcohol. It is 100% accurate. There is no variation.
The most intelligent thing that you can do is after drinking stay at the place where you are or if it is very urgent to drive then opt for a person who is not drunk and can drive you home safely.
