Common Questions and Answers about Blood alcohol bac
alcohol
That pace is .015 of blood alcohol concentration (BAC) per hour. So that means for every hour you are not drinking, .015 of the alcohol in your body is being metabolized and disappearing from your body (thanks to David J. Hanson, Ph.D. for this information). So, if your BAC was 0.08 (legally impaired), it would take about 5.33 hours for the alcohol to be eliminated from your body."
Hope that helps.

On average the body can eliminate 0.015% BAC per hour, so depending on the person and type of alcohol, they may have a BAC of 0.02% – 0.03% at a rate of 1 drink per hour. That means, the body can take 1 – 2 hours to metabolize the alcohol consumed in that hour.
t get all of what she said, but I understood that I had been diagnosed with acute alcohol intoxication (alcohol poisoning), that I spent the night in a vodka-induced coma and that I could've died.
I think she said my blood alcohol content was 500 or .50.
They kept me under observation all afternoon, tested my urine, and I had to call my parents to pick me up.
After that, I had the most awful hangover for a week.
I was charged with dui. they r saying my blood alcohol level was .
Let me tell you a story... To define my answer.
In brief: My sister is older than me. She got married almost a year ago. I know my part about meds. She knows her part.
I had a headache and I knew that later that night the BBQ would lead to a beer, and I thought: Ack, I'll let that beer be. The headache is more important for me to cure right now than giving my liver too much work.
My sister on the other hand panicked when I asked for two regular tylenols.

He was given two separate medications in the ambulance and life flight, taken to the hospital, given more medication and THEN his blood was drawn showing his BAC as .094. Now,9 months later he is being faced with a DUI. (He was honestly not drunk nor "buzzed") Is there any particular drugs that can cause a higher than normal or false positive BAC? Please any professional input would be very much appreciated as soon as possible. Thank you.
I just spent some time trying to research the idea that something else may have caused the elevated BAC level. I found nothing since the BAC level was high and the symptoms all point to the same thing, Your friend was drunk.
You can argue that it was a bad interaction with any medication (prescribed or not) but the BAC test can only slightly vary depending on things such as mouthwash and OTC medication but not enough to increase his level to .
Her doctor has added lithium to her meds. She is continuing to drink. I believe she is an alcoholic. How does the alcohol affect her lithium use?
ve also blown a .2 BAC (passed a field sobriety test), a .18 (6 hrs after I stopped drinking), and was blood tested at .527BAC (was hospitalized, blacked out but never passed out, never went into a coma or anything). At the times of all the breathalysers I showed no physical signs of being drunk, according police officers, and I felt sober or maybe slightly buzzed. Why am I still alive? Why would my alcohol tolerance be so much higher than the average person?
A breathalyzer measures the alcohol in your breath and then the reading is an estimate of your blood alcohol content. Having low RBC (from treatment drugs, for example) may raise the result.
I'm not aware of liver disease itself causing any variation in readings.
My RBCs are low and the last hemoglobin a1c I had done (I'm T1 diabetic) was 0.037 which I can tell you for sure, is EXTREMELY low. However, this measurement is an average of three months.
I worked until 10am and started coughing again. Took some Robitussin. The supervisor said he could smell alcohol on my breath (my wife and car pool people could not). Had company breathalyzer. Registered a .048. I was terminated.
How could I have registered on the breathalyzer? I have the liver damage. Haven't had a phlebotomy for quite some time. Don't know what my hematocrit level is.
16 bac and i can work and pass dui. test and have done it ... i tried to stop and shake and start to lose my hearing and get dizzy ... even start to see stuff.. can i ween off or what?
I calculated my BAC level last night and this thing states it was 0.21% but I think it may have been higher because I also didn't urinate for some reason except once after I started drinking (and I just found out every time you urinate 10% of it leaves your body) and I drank on an empty stomach. Is that enough that I got a small case of alcohol poisoning?
i am not pregnant,drinking alcohol or on medication.i woke up about 3 hours ago with chills and a lot of saliva and queasiness.i tried to get bac to sleep but got a pail.so far i have vomited 5-6 times an hour and dont feel any better.
