Human factor: Alcohol, drugs, and medications
Explanation
To understand when the maximum level of **blood alcohol concentration** is reached, it is important to know how alcohol affects the body. The **blood alcohol concentration** is the amount of alcohol present in the blood after drinking. This concentration is not constant and varies according to several factors.
- **Time since drinking alcohol:** The moment when the blood alcohol concentration is highest is usually **one hour after drinking alcohol**. This means that alcohol reaches its maximum concentration in the blood between **30 and 90 minutes** after having the last drink.
- **Personal factors:** The speed at which alcohol reaches the blood can vary according to weight, sex, the amount of alcohol consumed, and whether one has eaten before drinking. However, the general pattern is that the peak blood alcohol concentration is reached within that time range.
Therefore, the correct answer is that the maximum level of blood alcohol concentration is reached between **30 and 90 minutes** after having the last drink.
