Happy hour here doesn't help.

A standard drink is 12 ounces of beer or 4 oz. of wine or 1.5 ounce shot of 80 proof liquor (40% ethanol).

Every standard drink that a 140 pound woman consumes will raise her BAC .032. So, 3 drinks x .032
puts her at .96, which is over the legal DUI limit of .08 for those 21 and older.

Every standard drink that a 180 male consumes will raise his BAC .02. Four standard drinks would put him right at .08.

To stay safer when drinking alcohol, it’s recommended that women limit themselves to one standard drink an hour and men limit drinks to one or two drinks per hour.

With moderate drinking, you likely will have better times, better memories, and fewer regrets.
