Blood Alcohol Concentration
The following is a Java version of the Stella model described in the student
activities. The graph shows blood alcohol concentration over time
as a function of parameters you may set with the sliders below. "alc-p-drk"
is alcohol volume per drink, set at the level of beer (0.6 ounces of alcohol
per serving of beer). "Drinks" is the number of drinks taken over
the time period "tot-time" in hours. "sex"should be set to 0.0 for
female or 1.0 for male. "weight" should be set to your weight in
pounds. Above a blood alcohol concentration (Legal Limit) of 0.08,
you are considered impared in Alabama. The second window of parameters,
which control operation and display of the model, can also be set.
If you move a slider bar you will immediately see the model run and
the graph change.
