    When will my bac be at baseline?
    I drank 1 beer, and I have a breathalyzer in my car.
    How long after drinking only that 1 beer will I be able to start my car without any problems?

    I am a 21 year old male, 130 lbs.

    The only answer to your question is indeterminate. Range of 0-3 hours.

    1 beer (13.7 g/pa) will be detectable by BrAC up to 3 hours (based on .00) detection level.

    The second drink, additive, is a different formula.

    Breath Acohol Content (BrAC) is an estimation of Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) based on alcohol detectable in exhaled breath, and not actual measurement of BAC. (ratio being 2200/1)

    The device (inter-locks) to which you refer is an example of a BrAC.
