Mobile phones are a device that almost everyone owns and carries around with them at all times, so it has become much more convenient and quicker to use it to check blood alcohol content (BAC). The following article from FPT Shop will show you how to check BAC using a mobile phone, avoiding the situation of being mistakenly fined by the police when going out.
Why is it necessary to check blood alcohol content (BAC)?
According to Decree 100, if the blood alcohol content or breath alcohol content is below 50mg/100ml of blood or 0.25mg/1 liter of breath, the violator will be fined a minimum of 2 million VND.
However, to know the exact figure, a breathalyzer must be used, but not everyone can afford to own this device except for functional agencies.
Blood alcohol content is calculated based on gender, weight, quantity, and type of alcoholic beverage consumed. This content is calculated within 30 to 70 minutes after drinking alcohol.
However, according to Dr. Tran Van Bao, Head of Department of Laboratory II at the Post Office Hospital, the self-calculation methods on the internet are relative due to factors that cannot be quantified such as overall health, physical condition when drinking, and the alcohol elimination time, which may differ from person to person. For people with weak livers or slow alcohol metabolism, the time to eliminate alcohol will also be longer. Moreover, the level of “intoxication” can vary from person to person, even for the same person at different times. (According to: Alcohol.org)
