Not completely true… I’ve blown a .078 after one beer and felt completely fine. While other times blown far less, closer to .04 or .05 but felt completely inebriated from being more dehydrated and not eaten. We’ve also tried like hell to hit exactly .08. Took 3 IPA pints to hit .082 but had previously eaten. It really depends on the person. Source: lots of friends and family as police officers who like to have fun with breathalyzers.

You need to wait 20 minutes after drinking to get your real BAC. After one beer a 180lb person wouldn't be over .02.

Because everyone is exactly the same and all beers are created equal? I don’t think you have any clue 🤣

It's just science, man. One beer is not getting 180lbs of male to 0.08%. Not gonna happen. If you test with 20 minutes or so, you'll get a false reading
