One of your answers is wrong.
The last answer depends upon a couple of things, including your age and the opinion of the police officer.
To confirm the information provided:
The legal drinking age in the US is indeed 21, so the statement "The legal drinking age in the US is 21" is True. You can verify this by referring to the National Minimum Drinking Age Act and checking the legal drinking age in each state.
The legal BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) for underage drivers is actually less than 0.08, not 0.4, so the statement "The legal BAC for underage drivers is less than 0.4" is False. You can check the specific BAC limits for underage drivers by referring to the traffic laws of the state you are in.
Having food in your stomach does help slow down the absorption of alcohol, but it does not completely eliminate the effects. Therefore, the statement "If you have food in your stomach, it will soak up the alcohol" is False. Digestion time, body weight, and the amount of alcohol consumed also play a role.
Taking an aspirin before drinking does not prevent a hangover. Aspirin is a pain reliever and does not directly affect the symptoms of a hangover. Therefore, the statement "If someone takes an aspirin before they drink, it'll prevent a hangover" is False. Proper hydration, moderation, and taking breaks between drinks can help reduce the chances of a hangover.
Regarding the statement "If I am at a party that is serving alcohol to minors, but I am not drinking, I cannot get in trouble," this can vary depending on local laws and circumstances. While you may not be at high risk of legal consequences if you are not consuming alcohol yourself, it is possible that being present at a party where alcohol is being served to minors could be considered contributing to the delinquency of a minor or violating social hosting ordinances in some jurisdictions. It is always important to be aware of and comply with local laws.
