Blood Alcohol Data

Prompted by tighter alcohol restrictions in Australia, given 0.08% alcohol is the UK legal limit (80mg/100ml), it's good to see the data on what each drink will do to a person of my body mass.

Essentially:
- people of all sizes digest 0.015% per hour
- 1 pint of beer corresponds to ~0.04/0.05% (less effect for fatties, more effect for women of same weight)

So - in Australia, one pint every 3 hours is the upper limit.
