- AB: Blood alcohol clearance rate has been studied extensively. This is of forensic value because, if the clearance rate of a person is known, then the blood alcohol concentration at any particular time duing the post-absorptive stage can be estimated fairly accurately. The accuracy of the projection decreases as the time interval increases. An unusual condition may result in the abnormally slow or rapid clearance of alcohol from the blood. It has been reported that blood alcohol concentrations rose markedly higher in diabetics than in normals when each fasting group was administered a dose of 0.6cc of absolute alcohol per kg of body weight. It has been suggested that diabetics may not metabolize alcohol as quickly as normals. Also, it was found that blood and urine samples from diabetics with acetonuria, who had not taken alcohol, gave values of up to 78mg% and 149mg%, respectively, on analysis. Due to the medico-legal aspects of these results, further research is shown in this paper.
