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 they 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.
The 100% safest practice is not to have any alcohol when driving.
