Schematic BAC-time plot showing the metabolism of blood alcohol. BAC : blood alcohol concentration, C0 : BAC at the intercept with the ordinate of fitted line to the descending limb ; Cmax : maximum blood concentration ; Tmax : time taken to reach Cmax. Note that, as to β-values, the previous papers for men 10) and women 11) made analyses of BAC-time ranges indicated by a plain (0.254 hours after drinking) 10) and slashed(14 hours after drinking) 11) arrow, whereas this paper only concerns BAC-time ranges indicated by checked ones for more reliability.
