Friends worry about drinking?!
Ok, so my friend and I were talking yesterday, about a party she intends to attend next weekend!. She know that there will be alcohol there, and that she will probably drink it!. The problem is, not only are we underage, but she has never drank before!. She is fairly light weight and is kinda worried about alcohol poisoning, but not worried enough not to drink at all!. She said that she will probably drink a beer or two!. I know that beers are pretty low in alcohol, for a say 110-ish pound person, would that put them far over the driving limit, she isn't driving, but sleeping over, but she wants to stick fairly close to the legal driving limit!.
If she drinks two beers, could she get alcohol poisoning!?
What is the legal driving limit!?
What alcohol level would two beers put her at!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, I think you're a good friend trying to keep your friend safe!. I'll answer your questions honestly and then you can decide how much risk she would be taking!.
Alcohol poisoning generally occurs above BAC (blood alcohol concentration) of 0!.30%!.
Two beers, regular beers (light beers are 4!.2%, regular 5!.0%), should put your friend somewhere around 0!.06%!. BACs actually follow a curve, they peak about 1 hour after drinking and then fall off!. So your friend might not feel it, drink more and more then they start hitting her and that's when you can get in trouble!. This happens with shots more than beer, since there is a point where you simply cannot drink anymore beer!. That and if your friend never drank beer, she will probably not enjoy it!.
The legal driving limit is 0!.08% for people 21+!. For minors it is 0!.02%, in the US!. The threshold of effect (minimum level before your friend would notice she isn't perfectly sober) is 0!.03%!.
You're a good friend, I would not try to discourage her but just remind her of safe drinking practices!. For example, don't put your drink down especially where she is an underage 110lb girl!. You never said how well she knows the people at the party or how many guys would be there!. The main consequence of drinking is going to be stupid stuff that you do drunk (and 0!.08% is far from drunk; I would say that most people are drunk around 0!.14%, but they would definetly feel 0!.08% and be buzzed or even a little tipsy [note this doesn't mean they fall over, it means they are a bit more friendly than usual, somewhere between buzzed and noticeable impaired])!. Some of these things are sexual, some are violent!. Since the DUI level for minors is so low (0!.02%), it is good she intends to stay the night!. While she could probably drive fine, if she got pulled over for any reason at all she could end up with a DUI for being 0!.03%+!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Beer is not very strong and is not considered spirits that would poison her!. As long as she stuck to cervesa then all would be well amigo!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
If she drinks a beer and hour, and follows the beer with a glass of water (and eats something as well) it shouldn't be too badWww@FoodAQ@Com
Eat before drinking! It helps alot, a couple beers shouldn't be a problem as long as they aren't chugged!. Now I'm sure there will be 5 people saying "she shouldn't drink at all!"Www@FoodAQ@Com
2 beers could only poison a very small person, and by small I mean 3 feet!.!.!. Go ahead!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
HOw about this : Dont drink beerWww@FoodAQ@Com
I really discourage your friend to drink at all!. But I know from experience that teens are going to experiment!. Alcohol effects women differently that men!. We have a lower tolerance for it!. Please consider that!. Two beers for a young girl that has never drank will put her over the legal driving laws!. Alcohol poisoning I wouldn't worry about!. Just make sure that once she starts to drink and she gets a buzz that she does not continue to drink and think that she can handle it!. It is a common misconception!. I would recommend, if she has her mind set on drinking, that she make the first beer last almost an hour as well as the second!. That will lower her blood alcohol content and keep most of her inhibitions in check!. I strongly suggest and beg that she doesn't do it at all!. A lot of stuff can happen when young inexperienced girls drink and the next day they can have major regrets and be stereotyped for something foolish!. Please watch out for your friend and make sure your around especially if there are any boys around!. Once again Be Good!.
