We went out this past Friday I had half of a mixed drink, did it raise my BAC?

I had half of a mixed drink, as I was the one to be driving. My plan was to only have either one drink or a half a drink. So I only had a half of this drink.

It's called Dragon Ball Z. It's a Citrus and orange vodka, Spiced Amarena Cherry Syrup, Fresh pressed lemon juice, Celery bitters in an ice ball, Garnished with sour candied rim. The server hits the ice ball with a small, metal mallet to break it. It's actually really good.

I am 5' 10", about 170lbs. Did a half of that drink affect me much? As far as BAC? I was definitely feeling something after I was done with the drink.

If you were feeling something then you definitely shouldn’t have been driving

@twiigss I don’t know why anyone would drink alcohol and then get behind the wheel of a car. There’s just no need

@SophSmiles Yeah I know. People drink 3 or 4 drinks and get behind a wheel. I don't drink alcohol typically. Relatives went out and wanted me to come along, I said yes. I had half of a drink, gave the rest away. I'm just trying to find out if half of a drink can raise BAC. Typically, they say 1 drink every hour. We were there for a little over 2 hours, and I had half of one drink. How badly affected was my BAC? That's the only thing I'm trying to figure out.

I wasn't drunk and I wasn't hammered. Half of one drink was the only alcohol that I had in the entire 2 hours. I highly doubt my BAC went above 0.02 but is there a way to find out? Google searches don't tell me anything and I just wanted the information for myself.
