DUI Professional Drink Profile
Rittenhouse Rye
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 50% equals about 1.25 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.

Rittenhouse Rye Background
Rittenhouse Rye is Heaven Hill Brands Bottled-in-Bond Straight Rye Whisky. Heaven Hill official brand material describes it as a 100 proof, at least four-year-aged rye made in the classic American rye style from a 51% rye mash bill. DUI Professional records it under Spirits / Whisky rather than Bourbon, with the 1.5 fl oz serving and 50% ABV controlling 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 50% ABV contains 0.75 oz ethanol, equal to 1.25 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.
