Predictors of Error in Estimates of Blood Alcohol Concentration: A Replication
J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs 70: 683-688, 2009

To identify predictors of error in estimated blood alcohol concentration (eBAC) in a sample of bar patrons.

The accuracy of eBAC is poor at best. In an earlier study of parties, eBACs were often underestimated; in the bar setting, eBACs were often overestimated. More research is needed to understand the role of setting on eBAC calculations.
