BDifficulty 3/5

Can you know your exact alcohol level solely by counting drinks and their type?

Correct answer

No, because it depends on many factors, in addition to the amount of alcohol.

No. Several factors matter, including alcohol quantity, elapsed time, body weight and absorption. A drinks-based estimate does not establish the actual level or assure that driving is lawful or safe. A breathalyser measures alcohol in exhaled breath; blood alcohol is determined by testing blood. Feeling tolerant or sober does not guarantee a low level or safe driving ability.
