	Ignition Interlock by Smart Start - Blood Alcohol Content Calculator
		Blood alcohol content (or blood alcohol concentration), often abbreviated BAC, is the concentration of alcohol in blood, measured, by volume, as a percentage.
		For example, a BAC of 0.20% means 1 part per 500 in an individual's blood is alcohol.
		Use this blood alcohol content calculator to estimate just how little alcohol it takes to put you on the "wrong side of the law".

	Blood Alcohol Content, BAC Tests & State DUI Minimum at Total DUI
		The central issue in almost every DUI case is whether your blood alcohol content (BAC) is equal to or greater to than the statutory minimum.
		In fact, although most states' laws provide that a blood alcohol content of.08 percent is the level at which you are considered legally intoxicated, some studies conclude that a blood alcohol content as low as.02 affects your ability to drive and increases the likelihood of an accident.
		Your BAC is usually determined by breath, blood, saliva or urine testing, which is typically performed shortly after you're stopped for suspicion of DUI.

	Blood alcohol content Summary
		Blood alcohol content (BAC) or blood alcohol concentration is the concentration of alcohol in blood.
		For example, on average the ratio of BAC to breath alcohol content (the "partition ratio") is 2100 to 1.
		Alcohol is removed from the bloodstream by a combination of metabolism, excretion, and evaporation.

	Alcohol Blood Content and Blood Alcohol Level Test Information — Lifeloc Technologies
		Alcohol does not affect the senses or muscles directly, rather the nervous system is impaired and reaction time and reflexes are slowed as a result.

		Alcohol has a high affinity for water and a person's blood alcohol concentration is a function of the total amount of alcohol in their system divided by total body water.

	An Explanation of Blood Alcohol Concentrations
		Blood alcohol concentrations are determined by testing the level of alcohol present in a driver's blood.
		When alcohol is absorbed into the blood stream, it travels by way of the blood vessels and is distributed to cells throughout the body.
		The rate at which alcohol is removed from the body depends largely on a persons metabolism since metabolic processes are responsible for the vast majority of alcohol removed from the body.

	Drinking: A Student's Guide
		Blood Alcohol Content is measured in milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood, or milligrams percent.
		For example, a BAC of.10 means that one-tenth of 1% (or 1/1000) of your total blood content is alcohol.
		Blood Alcohol Content depends largely on two things: body size (the bigger you are, the more blood you have to dilute the alcohol) and how much you drink at any one time (the faster you drink, the higher your BAC, since the body has less time to dilute the alcohol).

		The effect that alcohol has on a person's body is dependent on the amount of alcohol that their organs -- the brain in particular -- are exposed to.
		Since the alcohol gets to the brain by diffusing itself throughout the blood, a convenient gauge of intoxication is the amount of alcohol in a person's blood.
		While BAC for blood is measured in weight of ethanol per 100 mL of blood, it can be measured as weight of ethanol per 210 L (liters, not milliliters) of breath, and produce an equal result.

	Blood Alcohol Content Presumption
		In other words, the blood-alcohol level at the time the test was administered is presumed to be the same as the level at the time the defendant was driving.
		Thus the defense must offer evidence to rebut this presumption — that is, evidence that the defendant's blood-alcohol level at the time he was driving was lower than the level at the time he was tested.
		This can be done, for example, by showing recent alcohol consumption, causing a rising blood alcohol curve.

	Blood alcohol content - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While a mathematical BAC estimation is not as accurate as a breathalyzer, it can be useful for calculating a BAC level that is not currently testable, or a level that may be present in the future.
		While there are several ways to calculate a BAC, one of the most effective ways is to simply measure the total amount of alcohol consumed divided by the total amount of water in the body - effectively giving the percent alcohol per volume water in the blood.
		Further, studies have shown that women's alcohol metabolism varies from that of men due to such biochemical factors as different levels of acetaldehyde (the enzyme which breaks down alcohol) and the effects of oral contraceptives.
