A couple was at a ski lodge and went to happy hour from 5pm to 9pm. The bar stops serving at 10pm. They leave the ski resort on a snowy night and are driving back to the hotel which is about an hour’s drive from the resort. At 12 am a passerby sees a car off the road in the trees. He finds the male unconscious and injured behind the wheel. The female is deceased. The passerby calls 911 and it takes an hour for them to come. The male arrives at the hospital at 2 am and his blood is drawn at 2:30 am. The male is found to have a BAC of 100mg/dl in plasma.

Male weighs 70 kg

Calculate if he is going to jail or not and why?

How many drinks did he consume?

Minimum # of drinks to achieve BAC?

Clue: the key thing to realize is the happy hour ended at 9 pm and the bar closed at 10 pm. therefore, what assumptions can be made about whether he was absorptive or post-absorptive?

Expert Solution

The male is surely going to jail as he has a BAC of 100mg/dl which is more than the legal limit of 80mg/dl(0.08 BAC).

He should have consumed about 8 drinks to reach the BAC level of 100mg/dl.(This is considering the time since he had hist first drink to the time he was tested). Some of the alcohol he consumed must have wore off as it has been almost 9 hours since his first drink.

The minimum number of drinks to achieve BAC(0.8) is 4-5 drinks, as one drink increases BAC by 0.2%.

It takes a person about 1 to 2 hours to metabolise 1 standard drink. So considering the amount of drinks taken by the individual he is still in absorptive phase.
