BeauNo, blood alcohol level and breath alcohol level are not the same. Blood alcohol level is a direct measurement of the amount of alcohol in the blood, while breath alcohol level is an indirect measurement based on the amount of alcohol in the breath, which is correlated with blood alcohol level.

Will a nicotine patch elevate the blood alcohol level reading on a breathalyzer test?
No, a nicotine patch will not elevate the blood alcohol level reading on a breathalyzer test. Breathalyzers are designed to detect alcohol in the breath, not nicotine.
Blood Alcohol Level (BAL) is the ratio between the alcohol consumed and the blood in the body. A. True B. False?
B. False. Blood Alcohol Level (BAL) is the concentration of alcohol in a person's bloodstream, typically measured in grams per deciliter (g/dL). It is not a ratio but a measurement of alcohol concentration in the blood.
Can a blood test tell if you have been drinking?
Yes, a blood test can detect alcohol in the body. However, the presence of alcohol in the blood does not necessarily indicate when alcohol was consumed. The amount of alcohol in the blood can be used to estimate the level of intoxication at the time of the test.
How long can alcohol be detected?
Alcohol can typically be detected in urine for 12-24 hours, in breath for 12-24 hours, and in blood for up to 12 hours. The length of time may vary depending on factors such as the amount of alcohol consumed and individual metabolism.
What is a BAC measurement?
BAC stands for Blood Alcohol Concentration. It is a measurement of the amount of alcohol in a person's blood, typically expressed as a percentage. It is used to determine the level of intoxication or impairment due to alcohol consumption.
