The Science Behind BAC
BAC measurement is a precise science. When alcohol is consumed, it enters the bloodstream and can be measured in various ways. Our understanding of the body's metabolism of alcohol allows us to estimate how quickly alcohol is absorbed and how long it stays in one's system. The rate of alcohol metabolism can be influenced by several factors, including weight, gender, food consumption, and more.
We aim to empower our clients with knowledge. By knowing how BAC is measured, one can make more informed decisions and better understand the evidence presented in a DUI case. It's about ensuring that every defendant has the tools to advocate for a fair and just evaluation under the law.
Techniques Used in BAC Determination
The most common techniques for measuring BAC include breathalyzer tests and blood tests. Each method has its unique processes and potential for inaccuracies. Breathalyzers, which are usually administered roadside, can provide immediate results but may not be as reliable as blood tests, which are often considered the gold standard for BAC measurement.
At Akins Nowlin & Prewitt, we help our clients grasp the distinctions between these methods. Such understanding is paramount when considering the defense in a DUI case. Errors in BAC measurement can and do occur, and having dedicated attorney support in such instances cannot be overstated.
Factors Affecting BAC Results
Various factors can affect the accuracy of BAC results, including the calibration and maintenance of the testing devices, the individual's physiological conditions, and external factors such as temperature. Understanding these can be incredibly beneficial when analyzing the validity of BAC results in a DUI case.
Our mission is to identify these variables and educate our clients on their potential impacts. We believe that knowledge is power, especially when it comes to legal matters involving science-based evidence.

Understanding Breathalyzer Tests
Breathalyzer tests are an immediate method for estimating BAC. A breathalyzer measures the alcohol content in a breath sample and uses it to estimate the alcohol level in the blood. However, these tests can be influenced by breath temperature, residual mouth alcohol, and even certain medical conditions or medications.
Our goal is to inform clients of these potential discrepancies. It is not uncommon for breathalyzer results to be contested in court due to such factors. We equip our clients with this crucial knowledge, strengthening their ability to challenge questionable BAC results.
Insight into Blood Test Procedures
Blood tests for BAC are performed in a controlled environment, such as a hospital or clinic. These tests directly measure the alcohol content in a blood sample. While they are more invasive than breath tests, their accuracy is generally higher-though not immune to error.
We assist clients in understanding the blood test procedures and the potential for mishandling or contamination, which could affect the test outcomes. Our attention to detail in these matters can prove invaluable during a DUI defense case.
Challenging Inaccurate BAC Readings
No measurement system is perfect, and BAC tests are no exception. Our experienced attorneys are skilled in challenging inaccurate BAC readings. We dive deep into the specifics of each case to uncover any points where the testing process might have faltered.
Fighting for justice means challenging inaccuracies head-on. We at Akins Nowlin & Prewitt stand ready to advocate for our clients, ensuring that their rights are preserved and the evidence against them is sound. Empower your defense with our expertise, available at (512) 244-0001.

The Role of Field Sobriety Tests
Field sobriety tests are another layer of BAC estimation used by law enforcement officers. These tests are designed to assess coordination, balance, and the ability to perform tasks while potentially under the influence. However, they are subjective and may not accurately reflect a person's BAC.
Our team can explore the details of these tests and provide guidance on how to approach them in a legal setting. The interpretation of these tests often falls into a gray area, where our expertise can be particularly beneficial.
Portable Breathalyzers vs. Stationary Units
Different types of breathalyzers may be used in DUI investigations. Portable devices, often used roadside, vary in sophistication and are less accurate than the stationary units typically found at police stations.
We explain the technical differences between these devices to our clients, emphasizing the importance of understanding these distinctions in the context of their legal situation.
The Impact of Metabolism on BAC Readings
The rate at which an individual metabolizes alcohol can significantly influence BAC readings. Factors like age, body composition, and overall health play pivotal roles in this process.
Our discussions with clients cover how these personal factors might affect their BAC levels. This understanding can be a key component in building a solid legal strategy.
