DUI Professional Drink Profile
Pierre Ferrand Cognac 1840
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.
1.50 oz at 45% equals about 1.13 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.

Pierre Ferrand Cognac 1840 Background
Pierre Ferrand Cognac 1840 is represented by Maison Ferrand's Ferrand 1840 Original Formula. Official producer material says the expression was developed with cocktail historian David Wondrich to revive a bolder 19th-century cognac style. DUI Professional keeps the row at 1.5 fl oz and 45% ABV, reflecting the higher proof used for this cognac profile.
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 45% ABV contains 0.68 oz ethanol, equal to 1.13 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.
