DUI Professional Drink Profile
Sambuca Romana
A public drink database profile for BAC simulation, drinking-pattern analysis, and litigation-support workflow review.

Alcohol concentration

BAC Simulation Context
DUI Professional uses drink profiles as structured inputs for alcohol dose, absorption timing, and elimination modeling. This profile describes the concentration and reference serving volume used when a full drink is added to a simulation.
1.50 oz at 42% equals about 1.05 U.S. standard drinks because one U.S. standard drink contains 0.6 fl oz ethanol. Review how these values are used in BAC simulation software or compare it against the full drink database.

Sambuca Romana Background
Sambuca Romana is a branded Italian-style sambuca associated with the Sazerac portfolio. It is more specific than a generic sambuca entry because the row names a brand and carries a verified corporate source. DUI Professional records the profile as a 1.5 fl oz serving at 42% ABV, and those stored values remain the controlling ethanol-dose inputs for BAC simulation, timing review, and report documentation. At 1.50 fl oz and 42.00% ABV, the stored profile equals about 1.05 U.S. standard drinks on the 0.6 fl oz ethanol basis; DUI Professional uses that dose with timing, absorbed fraction, elimination, and body variables in BAC simulation.
Professional Use
- Compare drink assumptions during DUI and criminal-defense case review.
- Document beverage concentration and volume used in BAC simulation reports.
- Review drinking-pattern inputs with forensic toxicology and expert-witness workflows.
- Support training examples for alcohol absorption, elimination, and retrograde extrapolation.
Standard Drink Math
A U.S. standard drink uses 0.6 fl oz of pure ethanol. This profile's 1.50 oz reference serving at 42% ABV contains 0.63 oz ethanol, equal to 1.05 standard drinks.
That ethanol dose is the starting point for BAC simulation software; consumed fraction, timing, absorption, elimination, and body-composition assumptions are modeled separately. Compare other entries in the drink database or use the related profiles below.
