Investigating Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)
![Page 3: Mathematical Investigations of Current Health Issues Theresa Laurent St. Louis College of Pharmacy 2007 AMATYC Conference.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e4571/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Questions
Consider two different drinking scenarios. What are they drinking and how frequently are they drinking it?
How high will the BACs become for each of our drinkers?
When will our drinkers’ BACs reach legal levels in order to drive home?
![Page 4: Mathematical Investigations of Current Health Issues Theresa Laurent St. Louis College of Pharmacy 2007 AMATYC Conference.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e4571/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Factors Affecting BAC
BAC = amount of alcohol consumed amount of water in the body
What additional information do you think we will need to collect in order to determine when our drinkers will be at a legal BAC to drive home?
![Page 5: Mathematical Investigations of Current Health Issues Theresa Laurent St. Louis College of Pharmacy 2007 AMATYC Conference.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e4571/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
General Information
For women, about 49% of their body weight is water. For men, it’s about 58%.
A legal BAC is less than 0.08%g/mL.
The body eliminates alcohol at a rate of about 0.018 to 0.02%g/mL every hour.
![Page 6: Mathematical Investigations of Current Health Issues Theresa Laurent St. Louis College of Pharmacy 2007 AMATYC Conference.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e4571/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Conversion Formulas
1 oz = 28 g
2.2 lbs = 1 kg
1 L of water = 1 kg
![Page 7: Mathematical Investigations of Current Health Issues Theresa Laurent St. Louis College of Pharmacy 2007 AMATYC Conference.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e4571/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Problem Number 1
Dave and Patty arrive at a bar at 8 pm. Dave downs four 12-ounce Shiner Bock beers, one every half-hour until 9:30 pm. Patty drinks three 1-ounce shots of tequila as soon as she arrives and then stops drinking. Are either Dave or Patty at a legal blood alcohol level by 11 pm when they decide to leave?
![Page 8: Mathematical Investigations of Current Health Issues Theresa Laurent St. Louis College of Pharmacy 2007 AMATYC Conference.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e4571/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Calculating Patty’s BAC
Tequila has 50% alcohol per volume.
Patty weighs 120 lbs.
For women, about 49% of their body weight is water.

Problem Number 2:
An athlete has taken 200 mg of Trenbolone (an anabolic steroid) by intravenous injection once every two days for the last two weeks. If he discontinues taking the drug, how long will he have to wait until he could pass a drug test?
![Page 20: Mathematical Investigations of Current Health Issues Theresa Laurent St. Louis College of Pharmacy 2007 AMATYC Conference.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e4571/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Additional Information
The half-life of Trenbolone is about 28 hours.
In a 10 milliliter blood sample, drug testing instruments can detect as little as one nanogram of Trenbolone.
Adult humans have approximately 4 liters of blood in their bodies.
![Page 21: Mathematical Investigations of Current Health Issues Theresa Laurent St. Louis College of Pharmacy 2007 AMATYC Conference.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0e5503460f949e4571/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
