DUI Professional Drink Profile
Cardenal Mendoza Brandy
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 40% equals about 1.00 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.

Cardenal Mendoza Brandy Background
Cardenal Mendoza is a Spanish Brandy de Jerez from Sánchez Romate Hermanos in Jerez de la Frontera. Official Cardenal Mendoza history states that the fourth generation of the Sánchez Romate family created an exclusive brandy in 1887, which became the origin of Cardenal Mendoza. DUI Professional maintains this profile as a brandy reference input, using the listed ABV and serving volume for 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 40% ABV contains 0.60 oz ethanol, equal to 1.00 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.
