Alcohol tops the list of psychoactive substances encountered in
police investigations of crimes such as mugging, murder, sexual assault, and
especially impaired driving. Accordingly, the need often arises to interpret
a person’s blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) in relation to the degree
of alcohol influence and the amount of alcohol consumed. Such calculations are
usually done with the aid of so-called “know your limit” or blood-alcohol
charts, and more recently, several computer programs have been developed for
this purpose.
