DUI Professional Drink Profile
Miller High Life Light
A public drink database profile for BAC simulation, drinking-pattern analysis, and litigation-support workflow review.

Alcohol concentration
4.20%
percent alcohol by volume
Reference volume
12.00 oz
fluid ounces per full profile serving
Ethanol volume

US standard drinks

using 0.6 fl oz ethanol per standard drink
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.
12.00 oz at 4.20% equals about 0.84 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.

Miller High Life Light Background
Miller beer profiles are part of the Miller Brewing heritage now held in the Molson Coors portfolio. Official Molson Coors history traces Frederick J. Miller to the Plank Road Brewery in Milwaukee in 1855 and identifies Miller Lite as a 1975 introduction that helped define the light beer category. DUI Professional maintains these Miller records as structured drink-profile inputs for dose, ABV, reference volume, and reportable simulation assumptions.
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 12.00 oz reference serving at 4.20% ABV contains 0.50 oz ethanol, equal to 0.84 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.
