DUI Professional Drink Profile
Colt 45

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.
12.00 oz at 5.53% equals about 1.11 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.

Colt 45 Background
Colt 45 is an American malt-liquor brand in the Pabst Brewing Company portfolio. Pabst official company history lists Colt 45 among its national beer brands, and the profile is maintained in DUI Professional as a malt-liquor style beer reference. DUI Professional uses each Colt 45 row's ABV and serving volume for BAC simulation, dose documentation, and drinking-pattern analysis.
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 12.00 oz reference serving at 5.53% ABV contains 0.66 oz ethanol, equal to 1.11 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.
