Here in the state, an individual is legally intoxicated if that person's blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08 % (w/v) or higher. How many milligrams (mg) of alcohol are contained in 5.0L of blood with this level? ( 1 mg = 0.001 g, 1 mL = 0.001 L).

Driving under the Influence. A blood-alcohol level of $0.08 \%$ or higher makes driving illegal in the United States. This bar graph shows how many drinks a person of a certain weight would need to consume in I $\overline{h r}$ to achieve a blood-alcohol level of $0.08 \% .$ Note that a 12 -oz beer, a 5 -oz glass of wine, or a cocktail containing $1 \frac{1}{2}$ oz of distilled liquor all count as one drink. CAN'T COPY THE IMAGE Approximately how many drinks would a 160 -lb person have consumed in 1 hr to reach a blood-alcohol level of $0.08 \% ?$

The BAC, or Blood Alcohol Content, measures how much alcohol there is in a person's blood. It is measured with concentration units = (grams of alcohol)/(volume of solution). We will take those units to be g/L. A person who has an alcohol concentration of 8.0*10^-8 g/L is considered too impaired to drive a vehicle and can be arrested for doing so. Assuming that the alcohol has a molar mass of 46 g/mol, find the molarity of someone with a blood alcohol content of 8.0*10^-8 M. Less than 5.0*10^-8 M Between 5.0*10^-8 M and 5.0*10^-7 M. Between 5.0*10^-7 M and 5.0*10^-6 M. Between 5.0*10^-6 M and 5.0*10^-5 M. More than 5.0*10^-5 M.
