Good point, I forgot to add gender into the list (late night).
Gender too plays a role. A man of woman of ideal build will not process at the same rate.

The amount of alcohol absorbed by the body in one 12 oz beer, a 1 and 1/2 oz shot of Crown, or a 6 oz glass of wine are all pretty much the same. TABC refers to this as "a drink."pbandjelly wrote:BudLight is just flavored water, anyway.... (not in the law's eyes, I know!!!)
Get a double jack and coke? That counts as two drinks. On AVERAGE (body weight, metabolism, food consumption can vary this) a person's body processes one "drink" of alcohol per hour.
This how we bartenders track consumption and ensure a safe experience for our guests.
In regards to carrying, each one should know their own limits, and do what they see as responsible for them, be it abstinence or moderation.
