Abstract:Estimates of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) typically are based on the amount of alcohol consumed per pound body weight. This method fails to consider food intake and body composition, which significantly affect BAC. A laboratory experiment was conducted to examine amount and type of food and time of food intake in relation to alcohol intake and BAC. Protein and carbohydrates were more effective than fatty food in reducing the BAC expected in a fasted state.
