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

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 4.20% equals about 0.84 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.

Pabst Light Background
Pabst Light is a Pabst Brewing Company light lager profile. Pabst's 2025 launch announcement for Pabst Light describes the beer as 96 calories, 3.5 grams of carbs, and 4.2% ABV, so this row has been corrected from the prior 2.3% value. DUI Professional keeps the stored 12 fl oz serving and 4.2% ABV as the controlling BAC simulation inputs.
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 4.20% ABV contains 0.50 oz ethanol, equal to 0.84 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.
