abstract：:During the prosecution and defence of drink-driving cases, forensic practitioners are often required to engage in various blood-alcohol calculations, such as whether or not the statutory limit was exceeded (e.g. 80mg/100mL, 0.08g/100mL or 0.80g/L). For this purpose, most forensic scientists utilize the Widmark equatio...
