0.1 % equals 22 mmol so 10.9 mmol is just a hair below 0.05%
3 mmol alcohol level is equivalent to 0,018 % (volume).
The blood test results were shown as an ethanol value of 258. Can I assume that is 258 ml/dl. When I do the conversion 258 divided by 1.18= 218.64. Dose that give me a BAC of .218?
Pretty much the same thing aren't they? The only difference is semantics. Potato, tomato.
The amount of alcohol in the blood is called blood alcohol concentration or BAC.
This is a question that turns out to be surprising complex: is alcohol a depressant a stimulant or what? And the answer is.......yes. The best answer (insert 30 minute discussion on neurochemistry) is that when blood alcohol level is rising (when the party starts) then alcohol acts as a stimulant. When BAL is falling (at closing time), then alcohol acts as a depressant. In all cases, alcohol impairs the critical decision making function of the brain, which explains a lot.

Yes, they are the same.
Blood is pumped through the liver where alcohol is metabolized and removed. Ethanol within the human body is converted into acetaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase and then into acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The product of the first step of this breakdown, acetaldehyde, is even more toxic than ethanol.
No. Actually no one has a BAC of zero because the human body produces ethanol 24/7. It's called endogenous ethanol production.
The subject tested has diabetes. The metabolism of starch creates ethanol in the blood and also causes a detectable level of acetone on the breath. (detected by breathalyzer)

Nope - its main constituent is capsaicin - a chemical derived from the fruiting bodies of Capsicum plants. While ethanol (a type of alcohol) is used in the production process, the ethanol is not part of the final product - and therefore will have no affect on blood alcohol levels.
It can't ever be zero under any circumstances, because the body produces alcohol itself 24/7. It's called endogenous ethanol production.
ethanol, which boiling point is 78 degree Celsius
Blood is mostly water, and ethanol is entirely soluble in water.
Through the stomach but primarily through the small intestines. In addition to any alcohol consumed, the body also produces its own alcohol through the action of yeast in the intestines. It's called endogenous ethanol production.
