Tennessee Permit Practice Test

Select the statement below that is false:

The more a person weighs, the more alcohol it takes to raise their "BAC" If people weigh the same amount, the one with more body fat will show signs of intoxication first Drinking three drinks in one hour affects you just the same as drinking three drinks in three hours All statements are true

Correct Answer:

Drinking three drinks in one hour affects you just the same as drinking three drinks in three hours

Explanation:

The statement "Drinking three drinks in one hour affects you just the same as drinking three drinks in three hours" is false. The rate at which alcohol is consumed directly affects how quickly it is absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to different levels of impairment. When alcohol is consumed rapidly, such as in one hour, the body may not be able to metabolize it as effectively compared to drinking the same amount over a longer period like three hours. This can result in a higher blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and increased impairment. Therefore, it is important to consider both the amount and the pace at which alcohol is consumed to understand its effects on the body.
