You measure BAC by the mg of alcohol found in 1000 ml of blood. Is this statement true or false?

True
False
Only for high volumes
Depends on the testing method

The correct answer is: False

The statement is false. Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is typically measured in milligrams of alcohol per deciliter (dL) of blood or as a percentage. The common standard expressed in the legal context is grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood, where 0.08% BAC means 0.08 grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. Therefore, measuring BAC by milligrams in 1000 ml would not follow the conventional practice or units typically used for BAC measurement. This distinction is important for understanding proper BAC reporting and compliance with legal standards. Therefore, the answer indicating that the statement is false is correct.
