Wednesday Maths Puzzle

[MarillionFan]

If a 200lb man is picking up a hire car in San Francisco 16 hours later than he first arrives in the First class lounge of Heathrow airport , how long can he drink champagne for, (assuming one glass every fifteen minutes) so that he leaves himself enough time for the alcohol to leave his body so that when he picks up his car he is either sober, or under the US drink drive limit?

Extra marks for managing to increase the 1/15 minutes ratio so the man can get pissed, but so that the man does not drop his trousers and urinate in the aisle of the plane shouting 'your my bess mate you are'

Please show workings.

Well as you are 300lb's why not tell him to have two thirds of the amount you normally drink?

4 drinkies/hour over four hours: BAL = 0.276
4 drinkies/hour over five hours: BAL = 0.344

So I reckon about 4.5 hours before you're put in the special seat.

0.08
BAL limit for DUI in Washington State
0.07 - 0.09
Fuzzy thinking; motor skills clearly impaired; speech may be noticeably impaired; sight and hearing acuity are reduced; judgment ability is slowed and reduced.
Ability to decide about further drinking is impaired and ability to evaluate and respond to sexual situations is diminished. (Warning: legally impaired consent is the same as NO CONSENT).
0.1 - .02
Emotions unstable; perceptions, thinking, judgment, reaction time are all significantly impaired.
0.25 - .03
Confusion, disorientation, dizziness, exaggerated emotions. All sense perceptions distorted. Numb. Severe risk of injury.
0.3 - 0.4
Stupor; motor functions severely impaired; unable to stand/walk.Vomiting, incontinence are high risk. Loss of pain awareness. Impaired consciousness.
Risk of death.
0.4 +
High risk of impaired circulation, respiration or heart rhythm. Coma and death due to anesthesia of brain areas and nervous system functioning are very possible.
