Blood Alcohol Content

An explanation of Blood Alcohol Content provided by Florida DUI lawyer:

What is BAC? *

Michael Braxton have provided this simple explanation of what Blood Alcohol is, and how it's measured. Contact your Florida DUI Lawyer to understand how this may relate to your case.

When alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream, it is not chemically changed. When a person exhales, the alcohol in their blood passes lung's air sacs (alveoli) and into the air. Since alcohol evaporates, it can then be measured in the air exhaled from the lungs.

The alcohol concentration in the breath is related to the alcohol concentration in the blood. The ratio of alcohol in a person's breath to that in their blood is 2,100:1-2,100 ml of air contain the same amount of alcohol as 1ml of blood.
In Florida, the legal standard for drunkenness is 0.08 grams of alcohol per 100 ml of blood.
