• Small Intestines - into the blood
• Liver- burns .5oz./hour, changes to H20 & CO2
• Eliminates - through sweating, breathing and urination

Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC)
• Amount of alcohol in the blood
• oxidized through the liver
• 1 drink per hour
• Blackout occurs about .35%
• Lethal BAC is .41%
