The Drink Wheel

As a public service and with permission of Intoximeter, Inc., I am making available the "Drink Wheel" on this page. This is a very handy way of determining the effects that alcohol, one of the most abused drugs in our society, can have on your body.

One of the main points that is taught in DARE is that everyone has choices to make and that they should be prepared to accept the consequences of those choices. The best way to make a good choice is to be informed. This "Drink Wheel" will help everyone to realize what effects alcohol can have on YOU.

Remember that alcohol is ILLEGAL to use until you are 21 years old. Possession of alcohol under that age is a misdemeanor criminal violation. As of January 1, 1997, if you are under 21 and driving a vehicle with a BAC of .02, you can lose your drivers license. Adults should remember, that in Florida you are presumed under the influence if your BAC is .08. You can still be charged with DUI even though your BAC is lower than .08 if it can be shown that your driving ability was impaired.

DARE students. REMEMBER- - - Alcohol is a drug and it is illegal for you to use it or to possess it. Make the right choice for yourself and stay away from it.

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.

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.
