Participants Aware of their BrAC reading
Participants randomized to this arm will consume three weight-based doses of alcohol with a target BAC of 0.10 and comple breathalyzer measurements every 20 minutes until a BAC of 0.03 is reached. They will complete a visual analog scale (the Self-Reported intoxication Survey) on their perceived fitness to drive and be blinded to their breath alcohol readings with the BACtrack Mobile Pro device.
