typical glass of wine contains about 19 grams of alcohol. Consider a 105-pound woman, with approximately 4 liters (4000 milliliters) of blood, who drinks two glasses of wine. Complete parts (a) nd (b) below. a. If all the alcohol were immediately absorbed into her bloodstream, what would her blood alcohol content be? g 100 mL (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Note that a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08g/100mL is the legal driving limit in the U.S.A. BAC at or above 0.4g/100mL usually leads to coma or death. Explain why it is fortunate that, in reality. the alcohol is not absorbed immediately. Choose the correct answer below. OA. It is fortunate that alcohol is not absorbed immediately because this blood alcohol content is above the legal limit for driving and is a dangerous level of intoxication. OB. It is fortunate that alcohol is not absorbed immediately because although this blood alcohol content is below the legal limit, it will impair brain function. OC. It is fortunate that alcohol is not absorbed immediately because this is a lethal concentration of alcohol and is far beyond the legal limit. OD. It is fortunate because any amount of alcohol consumption can impair brain function. b. Again assume all the alcohol is absorbed immediately, but now assume her body eliminates the alcohol (through metabolism) at a rate of 11 grams per hour. What is her blood alcohol content 3 hours after drinking the wine? g 100 mL (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Is it safe for her to drive at this time? Explain. leed cleabel.content is lower than it was three hours ago. typical glass of wine contains about 19 grams of alcohol.
