Purpose of the Model:
This model shows the effect of alcohol on the human body by tracing the ingestion, absorption and elimination processes through the body. With this model, it is possible to see the effects of a variety of factors on a human's blood alcohol concentration (BAC). These factors include body weight, alcohol type, and the quantity and rate of alcohol consumption.
