Patient breath alcohol concentration (BrAC)

1.
The BACtrack S80 Breathalyzer was used in this study to measure each individual's breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) to estimate one's blood alcohol concentration (BAC).
It is measured as a percentage, i.e. a measurement of 0.040 represents 0.04%.
The generally accepted legal standard for alcohol intoxication in the United States is 0.08%.
The Outcome Measures include mean readings for each group looking at readings greater than 0%, greater than 0.04%, and greater than 0.08%.
