I checked with a few different online BAC calculators. They all vary between 1 to 2.5 drinks to exceed .05 for a 180 lb male. Most don’t take into account the alcohol percentage in each standard drink serving so I can see there being a large variance. Granted, if this keeps someone up at night, they may have bigger issues to worry about. 😃

It's about 2.5 drinks if you drink them as shots, in 10-20 minutes. It's very close to 3 standard drinks consumed over 1 hour. Standard drink is 14 grams of alcohol. A standard bar "tip pour" is often 2-3 standard drinks so got to be careful with that one JD+Coke.

But yes, no-one should play that close to the numbers. But you can safely drink a beer and still be 100% legal to drive, even with 0.05BAC limit. Just don't make that beer a 9% IPA :)

You said, “rescind the offer they gave me”, which sounds like you have an offer and haven’t told them. Second, I can’t believe the application you filled out doesn’t have questions regarding arrests, convictions, etc. You must have completed one.

It's in the application, and they also ask in the initial HR screening call.

Yeah this is crazy. That application must ask about DUI or other encounters with the law.
