What is it?
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.
When we have this WWW publishing figured out a little bit better, we would
hope that this form will look a little bit more like one of these "Drink
Wheels".
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.
