Absorption Rate

Alcohol will affect all people differently. Some people can drink half a bottle of wine and feel no effects. For others, the same amount of wine will leave them intoxicated. These varying effects are influenced by the speed of consumption, the weight of the individual, that individual’s alcohol tolerance, and the type of alcohol being consumed. All of these factors will influence the rate at which alcohol is absorbed into a person’s blood stream.

Your alcohol absorption rate greatly affects how soon you can safely drive after consuming alcohol. If you or your loved one has been charged with DUI, it is important to speak to a defense attorney as quickly as possible.

Absorption Rates and DUIs

Many people make the mistake of believing that they are able to drive immediately after drinking alcohol. However, directly after drinking, much of the consumed alcohol has not yet been absorbed by the body. Alcohol will go directly into the stomach after consumption. It is not immediately absorbed into the blood stream. However, certain individuals with high tolerances will be able to safely drive soon after consuming alcohol with a blood alcohol content well below the legal limit of .08%.
