I wish I had a dollar for everytime an instructor made a comment that can't be backed-up

Negative. If he has that drink in an hour, he will have a BAC of approximately .002%.
Even if he slams that drink, at his peak he will not get close to .03%

TXi - I think your calculator is off by a factor of 10. I think its 0.02%

Did you see this under the chart? "Subtract .01% for each 40 minutes of drinking"

A healthy liver eliminates about .015% BAC per hour. I use another source to estimate BAC, and it is not a chart, it makes allowances for each pound, and for male/female, as well as the type and amount of alcohol in the drinks. It is the most accurate I have found.
