About the Drink Wheel

The Intoximeters Inc. "Drink Wheel" 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.

Why is it called a "Drink Wheel"?

We call it the "Drink Wheel" because it is based on various paper and cardboard BAC calculators that are given out in alcohol awareness programs, some of which are in the form of a wheel that you can spin around to calculate your estimated BAC based on what and how much you have had to drink.

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.

How To Dismiss Your DUI Charges In Phoenix, Arizona

Drunk drivers arrested for DUI in Arizona need to know that Arizona is one of the toughest state to avoid or reduce a sentence for a DUI offence. For DUI offenders in Arizona the drunk driving laws has become very strict. Recently the new Arizona DUI laws have been in effect. The new DUI law says that a driver found operating a motor vehicle with BAC of 0.150 and higher must serve thirty consecutive days of jail time, no exception.

If you have been caught driving under the influence in the state of Arizona, you will need an Arizona DUI lawyer, who knows the state laws and who specializes in drunk driving cases.

First thing to remember if you get pulled over and the police officer suspects that you have blood alcohol level exceeding the limit, after you have taken a field sobriety test and a breath test, you may want to obtain an independent test for blood alcohol level at a hospital. The testing device used for blood alcohol level testing in Arizona is the Intoxilyzer 5000 machine. It is highly inaccurate. Thus if you have been arrested for DUI in Arizona and the breath test shows that your blood alcohol level is higher than norm, get a second opinion from an independent hospital. The results of a test will help your DUI lawyer fight for you in the court.

Remember, that Arizona has very strict law when it comes to DUI and a reading error in your breath test result can impact your sentence.

When you have the results of your blood alcohol level from the hospital, call your DUI attorney in the state of Arizona and make the records available to him. Unless you fight for your rights and hire a knowledgeable Arizona DUI attorney, you will be sentenced for thirty days in jail even if the result of your breath blood alcohol test was an error.
