Recognizing IntoxicationQuestion 34 of 80
Why is it risky to rely only on the number of drinks to judge intoxication?
a.Drink counts are always exact
b.Guests may have been drinking before arriving or elsewhere, so the count is incomplete
c.The law forbids counting drinks
d.Drink counts perfectly predict BAC for everyone
Explanation
A server rarely knows what a guest drank before arriving or at another location, so an on-site drink count understates total consumption. Individual factors also make the same count affect people differently. This is why behavioral signs matter more than a tally.
