#14. If you drink 2 beers and feel fine and another guy (the same weight and height as you) drinks 2 beers and can't even stand up; your blood alcohol level should be about the same for both people.... at least this is what I was told....
Ok, I have wondered this for a while. And was re-reminded because I was watching a boating version of COPS the other day. So while at work today a guy was talking about drinking this weekend and I had to ask the question. Yes, pretty pointless but I have always wondered...I don't know why I wanted to know (maybe because I don't like drinking, still don't really ever drink, and have never been drunk or taken a breathalizer) but I have always been curious how being "drunk" and blood alcohol level equate. Some people will be over the legal limit and you can't even tell. I wasn't sure if you "handle your alcohol better" than the next guy if that means your blood alcohol level will be lower than the other person. I thought maybe your kidneys worked harder to process the alcohol faster if you drank more (that is, of course, until your kidneys fail).
I am just a bit uneducated in the drinking area (which is ok with me for the most part). But I still don't understand how one guy can be "drunk" and another guy you wouldn't be able to really tell he drank and there blood alcohol level will be the same.... I need a better scientific explaination as to how or why your body gets "better" at handling alcohol. I guess it all doesn't really matter but I think I just want the knowledge because I am curious.
This blog is the exact opposite of yestedays..... lol
