The BAC or Blood Alcohol Concentration is the amount of alcohol in a person’s blood.
Measured as weight per unit of volume, the BAC is denoted in percentage. For instance,

the influence.

7/18

Drunk Driving Quiz

Answer – A
Explanation:
According to collegedrinkingandprevention.gov, “Women become more impaired than
men do after drinking the same amount of alcohol, even when differences in body
weight are taken into account. This is because women's bodies have less water than
men's bodies. Because alcohol mixes with body water, a given amount of alcohol
becomes more highly concentrated in a woman's body than in a man's.”

What other factors affect the amount of alcohol needed to become
impaired?
A. The person’s mood

B. Drinking pace

C. The amount of food in your stomach

D. Both b and c

E. All of the above


8/18

Drunk Driving Quiz

Answer – D
Explanation:
As MADD notes, “The amount of alcohol required to become impaired differs according to how fast you
drink, your weight, your gender, and how much food you have in your stomach.”
-The quicker the alcohol intake, the higher the BAC.
-Individuals who weigh more become drunk slower. They have a higher water content in their blood,
which dilutes the alcohol as it is consumed, reducing the BAC.
-In comparison to men, women have less water content and more body fat per pound. Since fat cells do
not absorb alcohol as easily as other cells, more alcohol remains for a longer time in women’s blood.
-When one has something to eat, alcohol absorption is slowed.

-Do not signal the other driver to pull over or try to pass them, as this could lead to a collision.

note down this information at the expense of one’s own safety.

is being driven and where it is being driven, such as the cross-streets and the car’s direction.

Drunk Driving Quiz

The type of drink affects the level of impairment in driving.
A. True

B. False


12/18

Drunk Driving Quiz

Answer – B
Explanation:
The level of impaired driving is not dependent on the type of drink one
consumes, as every alcoholic drink includes ethanol, the impairment agent.
Other alcohol types including isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) is used for medicinal
purposes only. Butyl and methyl are only used for industrial purposes.
A five-ounce glass of wine, one shot of liquor, or one bottle of beer all contain
the same amount of ethanol. It’s not the type of drink that affects impaired
driving, but the volume of alcohol in a drink and the frequency with which
alcohol is consumed, among other factors.
