They are both wrong. Tolerance has nothing to do with BAC, someone with a .3 can be walking around...but they are still drunk as hell.

For BAC, 2 people can drink the same amount and not have the same BAC. The same person can drink 2 beers at one point in time and have one BAC, and drink the same 2 beers later on and have a different BAC.

Someone with a .3 isn't going to be walking around.

That's more or less borderline hospitalization and crawl mode.

Functioning alcoholics can live seemingly normal with a constant BAC which could kill a normal person

Yep, they had one on Jay Leno who was well above a .4 and walking around.

Alcoholics can also drink 1 beer and be drunk if their liver is bad.
