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.
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.
