How many glasses of highly concentrated whiskey or liquor is neccesary to raise your BAC to .5?

It's for a chem project (I'm not an alcoholic).


1st question: What's the highest concentrated legal liquor, something most people would be familiar with.


2nd question: how many times would a glass have to be refilled to get a Blood Alcohol Content of .5?|||1st question: The most common high alcohol sold in the US is Bacardi 151 since some states regulate that 151 proof is the highest you can sell. Everclear is 190 proof and is sold in select states.





2nd question: Since each drink of a standard alcohol(12oz beer/4oz wine/1.5oz 80proof) raises the BAC of an individual by .02 it would take 25 drinks to raise the BAC to .5. Each hour the body burns .02 so you would have to drink an additional drink for each hour. If you are using 151 it would take 13.333 drinks and if you are using 190proof Everclear it would take 10.5 drinks.
