Measurement of blood alcohol after drinking and its importance
Often referred to as BAC, the blood
alcohol content in the blood is measured after a person consumes
alcohol by using blood tests and devices called Breathalyzers.
To get an accurate and trustworthy result, the amount of alcohol in
the blood is assessed by volume or mass.
If a person consumes a large amount of
alcohol, the blood alcohol content will be high but will lessen as
the body metabolizes the alcohol. It is important to remember that
the BAC can increase after one has stopped drinking, and this happens
as a result of some of the alcohol not being absorbed at the time of
testing. Most law enforcement agencies use BAC to indentify people
who are committing a DUI (driving under the influence) offence.
Is it important to measure the blood
alcohol content in your blood? The answer to this question is always
yes. Once you Buy a Breathalyzer, you have the ability to test
your own BAC which will enable you to make an informed decision on
whether or not you are fit to drive.
There are a number of different factors
that determine how quickly the level of alcohol that is in your blood
rises and drops. Body size, food intake, gender and body type are all
factors that can have an impact on your BAC.
We've all heard the various invalid
myths that are said to be effective in sobering someone up. If you
think drinking coffee or water, taking a shower or nap or going for a
run will sober you up, you need to think again. The only thing that
is effective in lowering the level of alcohol in the blood is time
and time only. Now there's something to think about the next time
you've had a few too many to drink.
If you have the tiniest inkling that
you are over the legal limit to drive, take out your breathalyzer and
test your BAC.
