Blood Alcohol Content: Hard Liquor. Eight ounces of a hard
liquor (such as whiskey) typically contain about 70 grams of alcohol. Consider a 200-pound man, with approximately 6 liters (6000 milliliters) of blood, who quickly drinks 8 ounces of hard liquor.
a. If all the alcohol were immediately absorbed into his
bloodstream, what would his blood alcohol content be?
Explain why it is fortunate that, in reality, the alcohol is not absorbed immediately.

b. Again assume all the alcohol is absorbed immediately, but now assume his body eliminates the alcohol (through metabolism) at a rate of 15 grams per hour. What is his blood alcohol content 4 hours after drinking the liquor? Is it safe
for him to drive at this time? Explain.
