abstract="Ten healthy volunteers (six males, four females) consumed 0.37 to 0.52 g of alcohol per kilogram of body weight per hour over an approximate three-hour period. Each subject provided frequent breath samples into an Intoxilyzer® 5000C breath testing instrument during the drinking session and for approximately four hours following the end of drinking. The blood alcohol concentrations were determined from the Intoxilyzer® 5000C results using a blood:breath ratio of 2100:1. The highest blood alcohol concentrations ranged from 85 to 190 mg% (mean 128 mg%), and were achieved 12 minutes after the end of drinking (range 4 to 22 minutes). The mean time from the end of drinking to the start of linear decline was 69 minutes (range 0 to 124 minutes). The mean alcohol elimination rate was 19 mg%/hr (range 15.4 to 21.7 mg%/hr).<p />",
