By 2 a.m., the drinker's BAC has peaked and the body continues its efforts to eliminate the alcohol at an average elimination rate of about 0.015 percent per hour. At 7:30 a.m. the next morning, this drinker will still have a BAC of 0.08 percent. This drinker is still legally intoxicated and a danger behind the wheel.

Answer:

0,015%

Step-by-step explanation:

BAL is an acronym used to refer to the blood alcohol content. That is, when you drink any alcohol, alcohol stays in your blood and interferes with the functioning of your body. In this case, the BAL has the function of stimulating how much alcohol is in your blood, and can tell if you are intoxicated and able to perform some activity without being under the influence of alcohol.

The average rate of alcohol elimination is minus 0,015% BAL per hour.
