Food consumption affects your BAC in that it causes the alcohol to absorb into your blood stream more slowly. For example, suppose that you consumed enough alcohol to reach a .10 BAC, which is above the legal limit. If you drank that alcohol on an empty stomach you're going to reach that peak of .10 alcohol level much faster than if you drink the alcohol on a full stomach.
