Wait wait wait... so people might see my statements regarding BAC, and might take that into consideration when driving, which could be dangerous.
BUT.... the online calculators are totally accurate and wouldn't be tailored to the highest possible BAC for any given situation for the same reason....
Hmmmm.........
Do you not consider it might be possible for one person to be 200lbs and metabolize alcohol differently than someone else who is 200lbs?
Do you think the people producing these charts and calculators would base their info off the person who metabolizes faster than the other? I bet not. Would they base it off the slowest alcohol metabolic rate that research has found? Probably.
I'm fairly certain the breathalyzer for the university study was police grade. My friend was trained how to use it for the sake of his fourth year project.
These are the same devices they'll use to decide if you are drunk or not at road side. If they are inaccurate as all of you scientists profess, then we are all screwed anyway, so who cares how many drinks you have, the machine will never be right.
