Alcohol Quiz Review
-Warn range for fully licensed drivers is 50 to 80 mg/100 mL of blood, which will result
in a 3 day licence suspension and $150 fee
-A second offence within 5 years results in a 7 day licence suspension, mandatory
alcohol education program and $150 fee
-A their offence within 5 years results in a 30 day licence suspension, mandatory
alcohol treatment program, six month ignition interlock licence condition, and $150
fee
-Any further offences, will have the same conditions as the third offence, but with
medical evaluation
-Fully licensed drivers with a BAC of more then 80 mg/100 ml of blood is a criminal
offence
-Both breathalyzers and intoxilizers use a ratio of blood to air alcohol concentration,
that is 2100:1
-Saliva can also be tested, which is 1:10 with blood alcohol, like ALCO SCREEN tests
-ALCO SCREEN has a plastic strip with a reactive pad (light cream colour), and
when the pad comes into contact with alcohol, it will change colours from green to
blue to grey, depending on amount of alcohol present
-This only reacts with carbon having less then 5 carbons, nor glycine, glycerol, or
serine
-Interferences (when samples that aren’t saliva are used): peroxides, strong
oxidizers
-15 minutes between putting anything in the mouth and test must be done
-Deep lung air must always be collected when doing a breath test, this is the last 1/3 of
air in the lungs
-When BAC is positive, the measured ethanol concentration in the breath will rise, with
a slope that is positive, yet decreases until it ultimately reaches a minimum value near
the plateau
-MAE (mouth alcohol effect) occurs when an individual has had a substance that
contains ethanol, in their mouth, prior to testing, which results in an increase in the
concentration of ethanol present in a breath sample and a false BAC reading
-Breathalyzer: BAC Track S80 Breathalyzer
-Wait 20 minutes after eating/drinking to take reading
-Intoilyzer: Intoxilyzer 8000C
-Measures absorbance at 3.4 micrometer and 9 micrometer
-Before each test, an air blank must be drawn, to ensure no ethanol in air
-After each test, an air blank must be drawn to ensure ethanol is purged out
-2-3 L of air is needed to ensure a good reading
-At 40 mg/100 mL of blood, there is onset coma and possible death due to respiratory
arrest
