Each drink in this calculation assumes a volume of of .54 ounces of alcohol (one shot of distilled spirits, a glass of wine, or 12 ounces of beer). Alcohol affects all people differently, and these numbers are based upon averages. * READ MORE * Question: If I'm stopped by a police officer and he asks me if I've been drinking, what should I say? ANSWER: You are not required to answer potentially incriminating questions. A polite "I would like to speak with an attorney before I answer any questions" is a good reply. On the other hand, admitting that you had one or two beers is not incriminating: it is not sufficient to cause intoxication — and it may explain the odor of alcohol on the breath. 2 of 20 Previous | INDEX | Next These questions and associated answers have been adapted to Florida law with permission from Lawrence Taylor.
