BAC Tracker combines several published methods for calculating alcohol absorption, distribution, and elimination to provide an accurate, unbiased, and comprehensive BAC profile for any scenario. The calculations made by BAC Tracker software are based on the following scientifically peer-reviewed and published articles.Absorption:
