About the Drink Wheel
The
Intoximeters Inc. "Drink Wheel"1 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.
Disclaimer
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.
