DUI Professional Drink Profile
Raynal VSOP
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.

Raynal VSOP Background
Raynal VSOP is a French brandy profile for Raynal & Cie. Virginia ABC product data describes the VSOP as made with three eaux-de-vie from French wine regions and aged in French oak, and both Virginia ABC and SAQ list the reference concentration at 40% ABV. DUI Professional stores a 1.5 fl oz Spirits / Brandy serving for dose documentation.
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.
