In two experiments, independent groups of male social drinkers were administered equal doses of ethanol per unit of body weight (0.66 ml/kg) at different times during the day. Peak blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was achieved, and the time taken to return to a BAC of 20 mg/100 ml and the rate of ethanol metabolism per hour were determined.
