The Intoximeters Inc. "DrinkWheel"1is a form that you can fill out. Upon completion we will instantly computeyour estimated blood/breath alcohol concentration ("BAC") based on theinformation that you have provided and return that estimate to you. It ispresented as a public service to Intoximeters web site visitors. Its primarypurpose is to provide useful information about the responsible use ofalcohol.
We call it the "Drink Wheel" because it is based on various paper and cardboardBAC calculators that are given out in alcohol awareness programs, some ofwhich are in the form of a wheel that you can spin around to calculate yourestimated BAC based on what and how much you have had todrink.
It would be extremely foolish for us to pretend that our "Drink Wheel" cantell you what your BAC actually is, first because it would open us up toan incredible amount of potential liability and second if it really did workaccurately there would be no need for anyone to buy the instruments thatwe make and sell.
A person's actual BAC is dependent on many complex factors, including theirphysical condition (body composition, health etc...) and what they have recentlyingested (including food, water, medications and other drugs). This siteincludes a more detailed discussion of thePharmacologyand Disposition of alcohol inhumans.
The results that are generated are rough estimates of an average healthyperson's BAC assuming typical beverage sizes, recipes and alcohol content.The BAC estimates generated by the Drink Wheel should not be usedto infer anyone's fitness to work, drive or perform any other task orduty.
