16. The Test Was Given While Your Body Was Still Absorbing Alcohol

The Breath Test Result May Be Overstated Because The Test Was Given While Your Body Was Still Absorbing Alcohol

There is no test, not even a blood test, which actually looks at the blood and measures the level of alcohol actually in the blood.  All alcohol tests are indirect measurements.  A breath test measures alcohol in the lungs and uses a complex equation to make an estimation of the BAC.  When alcohol first enters the blood stream during absorption, the alcohol has not distributed through the circulatory system.  A reading in one area may be overstated for this reason.  Think of it is chlorine being poured into a pool.  At the beginning, some parts of the pool near to where the chlorine is being poured will have a higher level of chlorine than other parts of the pool where the chlorine has not reached.  The same is true with alcohol entering your system.
