Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
Pat drank four beers at a party and plans to drive home in 30 minutes. A friend suggests strong coffee and a cold shower to sober up first. Which statement is correct?
Correct answer: Only time lowers the alcohol level; coffee and a cold shower do not make Pat safe to drive.
Why
One drink is 12 ounces of regular beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor, and a person of average weight needs at least an hour to process each one. Four beers can keep a person impaired for hours, and smaller people often reach higher levels from the same amount. The safe plan is a sober driver, a ride service or staying where you are.
