Description: Join Justice Rick Libman and forensic alcohol toxicologist James Wigmore as they continue their examination of the forensic aspects of alcohol in criminal and civil cases. Part II will cover the additional topics of absorption, distribution and elimination of alcohol in humans, the principles of retrograde extrapolation of the blood alcohol concentration in drinking drivers and blood alcohol testing.
- Absorption, Distribution and Elimination of Alcohol - understanding the pharmacokinetics (what the body does to a drug) of alcohol is important for the medicolegal professional. Various aspects such as the effect of food or a warm drink on absorption, can you speed up the rate of elimination of alcohol, the effect of gender, does the use of hand sanitizer cause a positive BAC, and the effect of liver disease on the elimination of alcohol will be covered.
- Principles of retrograde extrapolation of BAC in drinking drivers - the controversial issue of RE will be explained by applying the known pharmacokinetics of alcohol to the drinking driver. The last drink or drink-after (hip-flask) defence will be discussed. Is RE scientifically valid?
- Blood alcohol testing - is the most frequent method of determining BACs after breath alcohol testing. The hospital and forensic alcohol tests will be compared. The effect of the use of an alcohol swab, clotting, storage at room temperature and the use of preservatives on BAC will be presented.
