DUI Professional Drink Profile
Fernet-Branca
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 39% equals about 0.97 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.

Fernet-Branca Background
Fernet-Branca is an Italian amaro from Fratelli Branca Distillerie S.p.A. in Milan. Official product information identifies it as a 39% ABV amaro made in Italy from a complex herbal recipe. This entry is classified as a liqueur/herbal profile for drinking-pattern analysis, with the 1.5 fl oz serving and 39% ABV supplying the controlling ethanol-dose values in DUI Professional. At 1.50 fl oz and 39.00% ABV, the stored profile equals about 0.97 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 39% ABV contains 0.58 oz ethanol, equal to 0.97 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.
