Q:
Is a .167 alcohol level
safe?
A:
I guess I need
to ask "Safe for what?" Nothing I can think of. It is an excessively high
level of alcohol for anyone, especially someone with little tolerance or
experience with alcohol-- impairing judgment, physical reflexes,
suppressing respiratory drive, and putting one at risk for accidents,
falls, and being sexual when one doesn't want to be. It is also over twice
the legal limit for driving while intoxicated.
There is nothing safe about overuse of alcohol. It is the single most common
reason for death among college age adults.
