Question 1

if i had 3 cups of vodka straight, how long will it take to leave my system? will it show up in a blood alcohol test?

Accepted Answer

That should be the: Least of your worries. If you are drinking 24 ounces of neat vodka at a sitting, you are clearly alcoholic.  Whether anybody else finds out about appears to be your major worry, which i suggest should be the damage it is doing to your health and your life in general. That amount of alcohol will cause a bac of between 250-300 mg/%, which may be detectable for 24+ hours, depending on your liver.

Question 2

if i drank a fifth of starting drinking on friday and drank a fifth of vodka on sat and stopped at midnight how long would it how long would it stay in my system for a blood/alcohol test.  i slept a lot sat and ate decent both days and went to work on sun

Accepted Answer

Passing an alcohol: Test is the very least of your problems. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver, and sweating and urinating remove only a very tiny amount. We metabolize about 1 drink per hour, so a fifth would take a day or more to completely be metabolized, more or less. However, your drinking is clearly beyond social and you are almost certainly alcoholic. You need help before you do permanent damage to body/mind.

Question 3

if i drank a fifth of vodka, how long would it take to get out of my system for a blood/alcohol test? i stopped at 12:00 midnight saturday, i eat decent friday and sat.and worked on sunday, i sweat a lot and tried to keep plenty of fluids and urinate a lo

Question 4

blood alcohol 129mg is that bad? is it passed the legal limit?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Please forgive my frankness. This is definitely drunk, and well above what's safe for driving. If you even have to ask, or are not thinking right now, "omg i could have hurt someone", i'm concerned that you (or whoever had the high blood alcohol) has lost self-control with respect to alcohol and perhaps should not drink any more.

Question 5

if a blood alcohol test is taken, but the sample is not tested for 5 weeks, is the test still accurate?  can the sample deteriorate?

Accepted Answer

How was the sample: Preserved? Five weeks is generally too long to store whole blood and it will deteriorate. Was it for medical testing or for legal reasons? If it was legal reasons your lawyer should be able to help.

Question 6

i have to take a peth blood alcohol test for court, will have been totally clean for the prior 16 days beforehand, will my peth levels have dropped?

Accepted Answer

PEth: PEth is a mid- to long-term biomarker measurable after consumption of approximately 200 grams of alcohol. An individual consuming 1 drink per day for 6-7 days will produce a positive result. PEth can be measured for 2-3 weeks following the most recent alcohol consumption.

Question 7

why do men and women have different blood alcohol levels after having the same amount of alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Body size and fat: Bigger, leaner folks will get less of a ride for the amount of alcohol ingested. Gender is incidental and not itself a factor

Question 8

can a blood alcohol test detect diabetes?

Accepted Answer

No it can not: No Blood Alcohol test can not detect Diabetes

Question 9

what happens with blood alcohol poisoning?

Accepted Answer

Not sure what you: mean by "blood alcohol poisoning."  We measure alcohol in the blood, but alcohol poisoning is essentially an overdose of alcohol, which results in unconsciousness, progressing sedation with the potential for vomiting and aspiration with pneumonia, and gradually increasing respiratory depression, which if severe and untreated can lead to death, or survival with brain damage and other complications.

Question 10

what does a 150.3 blood alcohol level mean?

Accepted Answer

See below: This would be the equivalent of six standard drinks in 160-165 lb man ( more in a heavier man and less in a female of the same weight )  not allowing for the breakdown of any alcohol which is typically one drink every 60-90 mins.   If no tolerance, one is quite intoxicated.  Dwi is at 80.0, aggravated dwi at 180.
