Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -How do I stay below 0.05? There’s no amount of drinking that guarantees you’ll stay under 0.05% BAC. It generally takes the body about 1 hour to process 1 standard drink. However, two people can drink the same amount of alcohol and have different BACs.
Detailed explanation-2: -How Fast Can You Sober Up? Alcohol leaves the body at an average rate of 0.015 g/100mL/hour, which is the same as reducing your BAC level by 0.015 per hour.
Detailed explanation-3: -Widmark’s formula states that one’s blood alcohol content (BAC) is equal to the number of ounces of alcohol consumed, multiplied by a constant-for men by 3.75 and for women by 4.7-and then divided by that person’s weight.
