Variability of the blood:breath alcohol ratio in vivo.
TLDR
The blood:breath alcohol ratio, commonly used to translate the result of breath alcohol analysis into the co-existing blood alcohol concentration, varies from person to person and within one person over time.Abstract:

Role of variability in explaining ethanol pharmacokinetics: research and forensic applications.
TL;DR: Recent work supports the need for multicompartment models to describe the disposition of ethanol instead of the traditional one-compartment model with zero-order elimination, and appropriate statistical analysis is needed to isolate between- and within-subject components of variation.

Evidence-based survey of the elimination rates of ethanol from blood with applications in forensic casework
TL;DR: The present evidence-based review suggests that the physiological range of ethanol elimination rates from blood is from 10 to 35 mg/100mL/h, which can hopefully serve as best-practice guidelines when questions arise in criminal and civil litigation about the elimination rate of ethanol from blood in humans.

Comparison of ethanol concentrations in venous blood and end-expired breath during a controlled drinking study
Alan Wayne Jones,Lars Andersson +1 more
TL;DR: Breath-test results obtained with Intoxilyzer 5000S were generally less than the coexisting concentrations of ethanol in venous blood (mg/g), which gives an advantage to the suspect who provides breath compared with blood in cases close to a threshold alcohol limit.
Journal ArticleDOI
The alcohol breath test—a review
TL;DR: The dynamics of airway alcohol exchange results in a positively sloped exhaled alveolar plateau that contributes to considerable breathing pattern-dependent variation in measured breath alcohol concentration measurements.

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Principles of Illicit Drug Use and Treatment of Illicit Drug Users
TL;DR: It is important to consider pharmacotherapy as only one potential part of the treatment of illicit drug users, as with all patients consuming multiple drugs, illicit drugusers are prone to developing drug interactions.
