DUI Professional Drink Profile
Sierra Nevada Porter
A public drink database profile for BAC simulation, drinking-pattern analysis, and litigation-support workflow review.

Alcohol concentration

Reference volume

Ethanol volume

US standard drinks

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 5.70% equals about 1.14 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.

Sierra Nevada Porter Background
Sierra Nevada Porter is an American-style porter from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. The brewery describes it as a classic porter with roasted malt depth, black coffee and cocoa notes, and an American hop-forward approach. For DUI Professional, this profile is maintained as a 12.0 oz beer reference serving at 5.7% ABV. The database ABV and serving volume are the values used for BAC simulation, alcohol-dose documentation, and drinking-pattern analysis.
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 5.70% ABV contains 0.68 oz ethanol, equal to 1.14 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.
