"BAC Comparison
Over Time" Chart
Any
"average elimination" charts are simply that---for the
average person. Your rate could well be SLOWER, meaning that
your BAC level would be higher than shown here, at a given time.
The purpose of this comparison chart is to demonstrate why SLOWING
down consumption can be very beneficial to most drinkers, especially
those who have larger body size, especially the average male drinker
(versus average female of the same weight).
