Police Department provides.
Check Your Blood Alcohol
The Drink Wheel
On-Line BrAC Calculator
About Disclaimer
The Intoximeters Inc. "Drink Wheel"1
is a form that you can fill out. Upon completion we will instantly compute your
estimated blood/breath alcohol concentration ("BAC") based on the
information that you have provided and return that estimate to you. It is
presented as a public service to Intoximeters web site visitors. Its primary
purpose is to provide useful information about the responsible use of alcohol.
Why is it called a "Drink Wheel"?
We call it the "Drink Wheel" because it is based on various
paper and cardboard BAC calculators that are given out in alcohol awareness
programs, some of which are in the form of a wheel that you can spin around to
calculate your estimated BAC based on what and how much you have had to drink.
It would be extremely foolish for us to pretend that our "Drink
Wheel" can tell you what your BAC actually is, first because it would open
us up to an incredible amount of potential liability and second if it really did
work accurately there would be no need for anyone to buy the instruments that we
make and sell.
A person's actual BAC is dependent on many complex factors, including
their physical condition (body composition, health etc...) and what they have
recently ingested (including food, water, medications and other drugs). This
site includes a more detailed discussion of the Pharmacology
and Disposition of alcohol in humans.
The results that are generated are rough estimates of an average
healthy person's BAC assuming typical beverage sizes, recipes and alcohol
content. The BAC estimates generated by the Drink Wheel should not be
used to infer anyone's fitness to work, drive or perform any other task or duty.

- National
Bike Registry
-
Since 1984, the National Bike Registry (NBR) has been helping identify and
return stolen bikes (and scooters) to their rightful owners. More than 48%
of stolen bicycles are recovered every year by law enforcement, but only 5%
are returned since they have no way to determine ownership. When a bicycle
is labeled and registered in the NBR database, it can be easily identified
by police and returned to its rightful owner.
