Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Taylor eats a large dinner while having several drinks over the evening. Taylor thinks the food makes it safe to drive home. What did the food actually do?
Correct answer: It slowed how fast the alcohol reached Taylor's blood, but Taylor can still have a high BAC.
Why
Food eaten is one of the four factors that affect BAC, which is why some people believe a big meal makes drinking safe. The effect is only a delay: the alcohol still reaches the blood, and several drinks over an evening can still push BAC past the legal limit. Taylor should use a designated driver, public transportation or a cab.
