What is the estimated BAC for a woman who weighs 180 pounds after consuming two double mixed drinks in three hours?

To arrive at an accurate estimate of a woman's Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) after consuming two double mixed drinks over three hours, various factors must be considered.

First, it is essential to understand that a double mixed drink typically contains a higher volume of alcohol than a single drink. Generally, each standard drink contains about 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol. Therefore, a double mixed drink would contain roughly 1.2 ounces of alcohol. Consuming two of these drinks amounts to approximately 2.4 ounces of pure alcohol.

For a woman weighing 180 pounds, the Widmark formula can be applied to estimate BAC. The formula accounts for body weight and the total alcohol consumed. A common rule of thumb is that a person’s BAC will rise by about 0.02% for each standard drink consumed. Since she consumed two double drinks, and if we break it down as treating them equivalent to four standard drinks, we can estimate a BAC increase of around 0.08%.

However, since this estimate must also factor in the time over which the alcohol was consumed and the body’s alcohol metabolism, we recognize that on average, the body metabolizes alcohol at a rate of about 0.015% per hour. Over three
