Abstract

With the change in drunk driving legislation, the ability to predict an individual's Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) becomes increasingly important. In an attempt to reduce the number of drunk drivers on the road, state agencies, as well as public and private groups, have been distributing cards and calculators designed to allow the average person to predict his or her BAC. Unfortunately, these cards and calculators are based on old data, and often provide incorrect information. This places individuals attempting to be responsible drinkers at risk of arrest, despite their good intentions.
