Yea, BAC is not justifiable. Just dont drink if you know you have to drive. =P Safest bet.

Dont do it. If youre driving somewhere that you might be driving, park SUPER-FAR away so you cant find your car when you get too drunk.

BAC is how much alcohol is in your blood. Basically, it's like if you had 5 litres of blood in front of you and you started adding alcohol, one shot at a time. The reason they say big people can handle more is that they have more blood, literally. They may have 5.2 liters while a small person may only have 4.8. Anyway, think about it like that. Now, if youre athletic or you live at higher altitudes, you will likely have more blood as well, so you will have a higher tolerance for alcohol. Your liver will process the liquor at a fairly standard rate, which will not help you get less drunk, but it will help you recover faster.

Dont drink and drive, even if you dont hit anyone or anything, if you get pulled over, you will lose your car, your license, a couple of thousand dollars and maybe your job. Dont do it.

i am 6"2" 255.

.08% takes a LONGGGGG time to get to. its really quite surprising & it feels like your buzzed. being a big guy, like a few others i see, i can double or even triple the 'recommended amount' by CA law. (im sure most of you can do even more, if you are in 'your prime'.

but again i don't drink and drive. just have cop friends on duty pick me up

RIP Colin Mcrae post count
BeerAdvocate has that listed at 8% ABV. Go out and get yourself some Sierra Nevada Bigfoot
