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.

I Got Arrested For DUI; What To Do?

Dui is considered a felony depends in part on the level of harm caused by the drunk driver. Whether or not dui is classified as felony also depends on the number of prior offenses. â  in general, first offenses that do not result in serious harm to another person are charged as misdemeanors. Assuming no one was hurt by the drunk driver, in many states a dui does not become a felony offense until the 4th dui arrest. Some states will raise dui to a felony on the 2nd or 3rd offense, so it's important to check your own state laws. If anyone was seriously injured or killed due a drunk driving incident, the driver will probably be charged with a felony. Examples of felony charges that drunk drivers may face include vehicular assault, vehicular manslaughter, and even vehicular homicide in some cases. Each of these crimes carries a hefty sentence, including stiff fines and time in state prison. Blood alcohol level may also play a role in whether dui is a felony. In many states,. 08 is the legal limit, and a limit of. 15 will often involve additional penalties. There is no legal limit for those under legal drinking age, since they should not drink at all.
