Interesting question . . . if it could be proven that he was drinking in your presence and you, knowing that he was impaired, allowed him to drive without attempting to stop him, or in failing that without notifying authorities, theoretically I suppose that you could be made party to a civil suit for damages.

What is blood alcohol in forensics science?

blood alcohol level is the percent of alcohol in the blood at any given time. i would imagine in forensic science could use this to determine maybe a cause of death. For example if someone is killed by a drunk driver including the driver. forensics could determine the cause of the accident was drunk driving related. They would take a sample of blood and determine there was a percentage of alcohol in it (blood alcohol level). If the level was high enough they could determine that it was the cause of the accident, or somehow related.
