The Drink Wheel
Online Blood Alcohol Calculator
The Intoximeters Inc. "Drink Wheel"2
is a form that you can fill out. Upon completion
we will instantly compute your estimated
blood/breath alcohol concentration ("BAC") based
on the information that you have provided and
return that estimate to you. It is presented as
a public service to Intoximeters web site
visitors. Its primary purpose is to provide
useful information about the responsible use of
alcohol.
Why is it
called a "Drink Wheel"?
We call it
the "Drink Wheel" because it is based on various
paper and cardboard BAC calculators that are
given out in alcohol awareness programs, some of
which are in the form of a wheel that you can
spin around to calculate your estimated BAC
based on what and how much you have had to
drink.
It would be extremely foolish for us to
pretend that our "Drink Wheel" can tell you what
your BAC actually is, first because it would
open us up to an incredible amount of potential
liability and second if it really did work
accurately there would be no need for anyone to
buy the instruments that we make and sell.
A
person's actual BAC is dependent on many complex
factors, including their physical condition
(body composition, health etc...) and what they
have recently ingested (including food, water,
medications and other drugs). This site includes
a more detailed discussion of the
Pharmacology
and Disposition of alcohol in humans.
The
results that are generated are rough estimates
of an average healthy person's BAC assuming
typical beverage sizes, recipes and alcohol
content. The BAC estimates generated by the
Drink Wheel should not be used to infer
anyone's fitness to work, drive or perform any
other task or duty.
