Blood alcohol content (BAC), also called blood alcohol concentration or blood alcohol level, is a measurement of alcohol intoxication used for legal or medical purposes. [1] BAC is expressed as mass of alcohol per volume of blood. In US and many international publications, BAC levels are written as a percentage such as 0.08%, i.e. there is 0.8 ...
The tests were used in real-world conditions and reported as being able to determine intoxication above the then-effective blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of .10 grams per deciliter (g/dL) of blood. After some US states began lowering their legal BAC limits to .08 g/dL, other studies reported that the battery could also be used to ...
One of his most significant research endeavors was the Grand Rapids Study of 1962–1963, the findings of which supported changing the legal blood alcohol content from 0.1 to 0.08. In light of his achievements, Borkenstein was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Science by Wittenberg University in 1963 and an Honorary LL.D. from Indiana University in ...

The ratio of venous blood alcohol content to breath alcohol content may vary significantly, from 1300:1 to 3100:1. Assuming a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.07%, for example, a person could have a partition ratio of 1500:1 and a breath test reading of 0.10 g/2100 mL, over the legal limit in some jurisdictions.

A toxicology screening ordered as part of the month-long investigation indicated Chao, 50, had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.233. The legal limit to drive in Texas is 0.08.
If the breath sample isn't provided, or the sample exceeds the ignition interlock's preset blood alcohol level, the device will log the event, warn the driver, and then start up an alarm in accordance to state regulations (e.g., lights flashing, horn honking) until the ignition is turned off, or a clean breath sample has been provided. A common ...
