Does eating food before or while drinking guarantee you will stay under the legal limit and drive safely?
- A.No, food may slow absorption, but BAC still rises with drinking and impairment still occurs, so food is not protection for driving
- B.Yes, a full meal keeps BAC at zero
- C.Yes, if the food is high in protein
- D.Food prevents any impairment from the first two drinks
Correct answer
A. No, food may slow absorption, but BAC still rises with drinking and impairment still occurs, so food is not protection for driving
Why
Food slows how quickly alcohol reaches the blood, but it does not stop absorption or prevent impairment. Counting on food to make driving safe is a dangerous misconception.
