First go to this site and choose your poison. Note the alcohol content. It doesn't list liquor, but you can look on the bottle to get that if you are that curious.

I personally thin this is very useful information
In case anyone cares i would have to drink around 6 beers in one hour to be 0.08...
IMPORTANT INFO TO KEEP IN MIND! IF YOU DON"T WANT TO READ IT ALL...DON"T DRINK & DRIVE!
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is the amount of alcohol in the bloodstream. It is measured in percentages. For instance, having a BAC of 0.10 percent means that a person has 1 part alcohol per 1,000 parts blood in the body.
In a reveiw of studies of alcohol-related crashes, reaction time, tracking ability, concentrated attention ability, divided attention performance, information process capability, visual functions, perceptions, and psycho-motor performance, impairment i n all these areas was significant at blood concentrations of 0.05 percent. Impairement first appeared in many of these important areas of performance at blood alcohol concentrations of 0.02 percent, substantially below the legal standard in most States f or drunkenness, which is 0.08 percent.
BAC can be measured by breath, blood, or urine tests. BAC measurement is especially important for determining the role of alcohol in crashes, falls, fires, crime, family violence, suicide, and other forms of intentional and unintentional injury.
The public most commonly associates BAC with drunk driving. However, it is more accurate to refer to alcohol-impaired driving because one does not have to be drunk (intoxicated) to be demonstrably impaired. Driving skills, especially judgement, are i mpaired in most people long before they exhibit visible signs of drunkenness. While most States define legal intoxication for purposes of driving at a BAC of 0.08 percent or higher, alcohol may cause deterioration in driving skills at 0.05 percent or eve n lower. Deterioration progresses rapidly with rising BAC.
The legal intoxication level in most States is 0.08 percent blood alcohol concentration (BAC). But alcohol depresses the central nervous system, causing slowed reactions, and one?s ability to drive is affected long before a BAC of 0.08 percent is reached.
Factors that will affect the BAC in a person:
How much alcohol you drink.
How fast you drink. The quicker you drink, the higher your peak BAC will be. The liver gets rid of alcohol at the average rate of one drink per hour (12 oz. beer, 5 oz. wine, 1 shot of distilled liquor). If a person drinks faster than this, the r emainder will circulate in the blood stream until the liver can get rid of it.
Body weight. Heavier people will be less affected by the same amount of alcohol than lighter people. They have more blood and water in their bodies in which to dilute the alcohol.
Food in the stomach. When there is food in the stomach, alcohol is absorbed slower into the blood stream. The BAC rises more rapidly in those who drink on an empty stomack, because there is no food in which to dilute the alcohol.
The type of alcohol you drink. The stronger a drink is (the higher the alcohol concentration, distilled alcohol first, wine second, beer third) the more quickly it is absorbed. This partially explains why hard liquor has more of an apparent ? kick? than wine or beer.
Type of mixer used. Water and fruit juices mixed with alcohol slow the absorption process, while carbonated beverages will speed it up. Carbon dioxide speeds the alcohol through the stomack and intestine into the bloodstream, creating a rapid rise in BAC.
Temperature of the drink. Warm alcohol is absorbed quicker than cold alcohol.
If you are male or female. Women reach higher BAC?s faster because they have less water in their bodies and more adipose tissue (fat), which is not easily penetrated by alcohol. Therefore, a man and woman, with all other factors being equal, both drinking the same amount of alcohol will have different BAC levels. Hers will be higher. A woman?s menstrual cycle will also affect her rate of absorption. They will experience their highest BAC?s premenstrually. In addition, there is a lso evidence that a woman taking birth control pills, will absorb alcohol faster, resulting in higher BAC levels.
