NAME: Blood Alcohol Concentration TYPE: Sample SIZE: 22 observations, 9 variables DESCRIPTIVE ABSTRACT: Most countries have laws relating to driving with more than a specified concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream. Hence, it is of interest for a person who has been drinking to be able to determine if they are over this limit. Worldwide, several experiments have been conducted to determine which factors (e.g. number of drinks, gender, age, weight, etc.) have a significant effect on Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC). The data here is the result of one small study investigating this. SOURCES: Dr. Kevin Donegan, Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Western Sydney-Macarthur VARIABLE DESCRIPTIONS: 1. ID 2. Age 3. Gender 0 = Male, 1 = Female 4. Height (in cm) 5. Weight (in kg) 6. Drinks - number of 120 ml glasses of white wine (10% Alc/Vol) - subject decides number of glass of wine to drink in 45 minutes 7. BAC - Blood Alcohol Concentration 8. BMI - Body Mass Index = (Weight/Height^2) 9. Dose - Volume alcohol by weight = Drinks * 120 / Weight SPECIAL NOTES: The BAC reading is not exactly what the breathalizer reported. The BAC given is actually (Reading - 0.005) rounded down to the nearest 0.005. For example a breathalizer reading of 0.044 gives a BAC of 0.035 (0.044 - 0.005 = 0.039 which gets rounded down to 0.035). Before any subject could start the 45 minute drinking period, the BAC level was checked to be 0.
