Absorption Rate: The rate at which consumed alcohol finds its way into the blood stream. While alcohol sits in the stomach, its absorption is delayed. Absorption rate will be affected by how much was eaten, individual biologic differences, and what type of beverage was consumed. When drinking continues over a course of hours, both absorption and “burnoff” (metabolizing of alcohol) will be happening simultaneously.
This fact alone can lead to a dismissal of a DUI charge in some cases. For example, if police waited an hour to administer a blood test, the suspect’s levels probably got higher since they were actually driving the vehicle.
