At a party, Chris drinks one 12-ounce can of beer, and Jo drinks one 5-ounce glass of wine. Who had more alcohol?
Correct answer: About the same, because each is one normal serving.
Why
Beer is not a safer choice for drivers, because each normal serving affects you about the same. Drinking on an empty stomach, being tired, or taking medicine makes the effects stronger. Only time removes alcohol from the body; coffee, fresh air and exercise do not.
