One of the first functions affected when a person drinks alcohol is the mind, or thinking process. After a few drinks the person will have a hard time getting their thoughts together. Another very important function that is quickly affected is their driving capability. Even a person who does not seem to be drunk, or who has only had a couple of drinks, will not have the capability he or she needs to drive a car.

How does tolerance to alcohol affect BAC?
Tolerance to alcohol does not affect immediate measures of BAC. A tolerant person can have a much higher BAC without feeling the effects but according to the law they are more drunk than a person with a lower amount that is highly affected by alcohol. To be more specific, high tolerance essentially affects the level of habituation a person's neurons have adapted to alcohol and reduces the number of receptors that they have for alcohol. As BAC is a measure of immediate blood alcohol levels, this is not affected by levels of receptors in the brain.
