I need to know for a health question. The standard BAC for intoxication is 0.1 percent. And the average person's body contains 4 quarts of blood which is 32 ounces. If you have absolutely no clue, please don't attempt to answer. Thank you very much to whoever will help me!!!

You have a problem in that we don't have a statutory limit on what is considered 'intoxicated'. For driving it varies on age and experience.. If we take the limit to be .05% of the blood content being alcohol, the figure is a simple calculation but is better done in volume rather than weight.
4 quarts = 1 gallon = (approx) 5lts or 1000mls.
1% 0f 1000 is 10mls, .1% is 1ml therefore .05 % is .5ml
so 5x.5 = 2.5mls. This is about one half a teaspoon.
