  5. The liver disposes of 95% of alcohol that enters your body. It typically metabolizes alcohol at a rate of one standard drink per hour.

  6. What is a standard drink?

  7. The Biphasic Effect

  8. Peak stimulation and euphoria occur at a BAC of 0.06%. After this "Point of Diminishing Returns," higher BACs will result in fewer and fewer positive effects.

  10. Once the drinker has gone beyond the "Point of Diminishing Returns," it is impossible to return to the Buzz Zone.
