A guest arrived at a bar at 12:00 p.m. By 2:00 p.m., he had consumed 4 12-ounce beers. How many drinks remain in the guest’s body at 2:00 p.m.?

To determine how many drinks remain in the guest's body at 2:00 p.m., we need to consider the rate at which the body metabolizes alcohol. On average, the body metabolizes alcohol at a rate of about one standard drink per hour.
Given that the guest consumed 4 12-ounce beers over a 2-hour period, which equates to 4 standard drinks, we can estimate that 2 drinks would still remain in the guest's body at 2:00 p.m.
