abstract="Alcohol nomograms and charts based on population averages may induce substantial inaccuracies in the estimates of individual blood alcohol concen- tration levels (BACs). Also, many such charts require a compensating equa- tion to account for the metabolic elimination of alcohol over a period of time. Together, these two factors can lead to dangerous underestimates of BAC. This article outlines a one-tailed confidence interval approach for esti- mating expected BAC varying as a function of time and amount of alcohol consumed. The use of these data in BAC charts tailored to specific weight ranges precludes the use of a compensating equation and provides estimated BAC values which are much less likely to unsafely underestimate actual BACs.<p />",
