Blood alcohol concentration (BAC).
A breathalyzer is a device used to measure the amount of alcohol in a person's breath. It estimates the blood alcohol content (BAC) by analyzing the alcohol content in the exhaled breath. This measurement is then used to determine if the person is under the influence of alcohol.
Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is affected by factors such as the amount and rate of alcohol consumption, body weight, gender, metabolism, and the presence of food in the stomach. Additionally, individual tolerance to alcohol and medications or health conditions can influence BAC levels.
