Question 3

What is 'BAC' and why does it matter for compliance training?

Accepted Answer

Blood Alcohol Concentration — the measure used to define legal intoxication limits

BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) is the scientific measure of alcohol in the bloodstream; legal intoxication in the US is generally 0.08% BAC.

Question 4

Which factor can cause a patron to reach a higher BAC more quickly than average?

Accepted Answer

Being of smaller body weight

Answer

Lower body weight means alcohol is distributed through a smaller volume of body water, resulting in a higher BAC per drink consumed.

Check whether the jurisdiction accepts foreign passports and verify the birth date
