Someone comes up to the bar and asks Joel how long he suggests waiting to drive home after four drinks. What should Joel tell him?
  1. At least an hour, to allow the body to adjust.
  2. While there is no definite time, four hours is a good idea.
  3. Everyone is different, but waiting at least two hours is sufficient for most.
  4. He shouldn’t drive home at all - calling a taxi or having a sober friend drive is necessary.
Explanation
Answer: B - Joel should respond that while there is no definite time to wait before driving home after four drinks, waiting at least four hours is a good idea.

The liver processes alcohol at a rate of about one drink per hour, so allowing four hours for four drinks gives the body a chance to metabolize it all. That said, every person is different, and some people may actually still show some signs of intoxication even after waiting one hour per drink. Pay close attention to your customers’ behavior.
