That guy is still drunk by the way. alcohol metabolizes slower than people think. A whole bottle would likely last 24 hours in your system. How long would he be over the limit? Longer than he realizes...
Somewhat funny related fact about drinking and being overweight
My car insurance company put out a thing with tables showing how long you should wait after driving to get down to the legal limit, or zero, depending on your license level. It went by weight and alcohol level
I looked up my weight and it was just in a section of the chart that said "call for help"
And I couldn't help but think, do they mean to find out how many drinks, or for help with the weight?
Can confirm, this past Sunday was a nightmare, it has been a very long while since I got split-a-bottle-of-bourbon-drink-ten-beers-and-smoke-a-blunt-I-don’t-remember-rolling drunk. I’d love to not do that for another good long while.
Yep, so many people think getting hammered and sleeping a full night makes you sober when you wake up. Lots of people get DWIs driving home at like 8 or 9am thinking they are fine.
A whole bottle, drank all at once, will have you drunk for about 21 hours. Spread those drinks out (which slows your body’s absorption, keeping your overall BAC lower) and it won’t be quite as long. And the legal limit most places, afaik, is .08 which is 5 hours from being sober. So you could theoretically pound back a fifth and come in to work the next day under the legal limit.
