DUI Professional Drink Profile
Sam Adams Pale Ale
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.
12.00 oz at 5.30% equals about 1.06 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.

Sam Adams Pale Ale Background
Sam Adams Pale Ale is a verified Samuel Adams beer profile from Boston Beer Company. Samuel Adams helped define the modern American craft-beer market, with Boston Lager and seasonal releases becoming widely recognized public beer references. DUI Professional records the brand/manufacturer identity for database review; the row's listed ABV and serving volume remain the controlling ethanol-dose inputs 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 12.00 oz reference serving at 5.30% ABV contains 0.64 oz ethanol, equal to 1.06 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.
