One-Size Does Not Fit All

The drink chart reproduced on this page can be found all over the World Wide Web. This drink chart provides a rough estimate of a person’s blood alcohol level based on the number of drinks consumed and the person’s weight. It is troubling that many defense attorneys rely on similar charts in order to gauge whether their client may have been impaired after consuming a given number of drinks. The truth of the matter is that a “one size” chart does not fit all.

However, as the science of breath and blood alcohol content analysis advanced, opportunities to refine the tools of the DUI defense practitioner emerged.

A Modern Approach

Our office was instrumental in the development of state-of-the-art software designed to accurately calculate a person’s blood alcohol level at the time of driving. Obviously, the ability to pinpoint a nearly precise blood alcohol level at a specific time is a significant advance over the limited information provided by outdated static charts.
