Explanation:

• Question 39: Drinking and driving is extremely dangerous. The only safe way to avoid an alcohol - related crash is to not drive after drinking at all. Driving fast (A) is dangerous in general and doesn't address the alcohol issue. Lightweight beer (B) still contains alcohol. Trusting a friend (D) is not as reliable as not driving drunk yourself.
• Question 40: The elimination of alcohol from the body is a slow process. It takes time (C). It doesn't happen within 30 minutes (A). Hot showers (B) and cold air (D) do not speed up the elimination of alcohol.
• Question 41: A “designated driver” is a driver selected to stay sober and drive others safely (B). The driver who drinks the most (A) is not a designated driver. Leaving the party first (C) or riding in the back - seat (D) are not the definitions of a designated driver.
• Question 42: Alcohol (A) impairs judgment. Certain drugs (B) can also affect judgment. Fatigue (C) can make a person less alert and affect judgment. So all of the above (D) affect judgment when driving.
• Question 43: A 12 - oz beer, a 5 - oz wine, and 1.5 - oz of 86 - proof liquor all contain approximately the same amount of alcohol (about 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol). So C is correct.
• Question 44: Time (A) is the only thing that can reduce BAC (blood alcohol concentration). Coffee (B) may make a person feel more awake but doesn't reduce BAC. Resting (C) and eating a meal (D) do not speed up the reduction of BAC.
