What is the term used to refer to the amount of alcohol in the blood?

Implied consent (IC)
Blood alcohol concentration (BAC)
Rate of alcohol consumption (RAC)
Blood alcohol level (BAL)

The correct answer is: Blood alcohol concentration (BAC)

The term used to refer to the amount of alcohol in the blood is referred to as Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC). BAC is a measurement of the percentage of alcohol in the bloodstream and is commonly used to determine levels of intoxication. Implied consent (IC) is the concept where individuals are assumed to have given their consent for certain actions, such as consenting to a breathalyzer test when operating a vehicle. Rate of alcohol consumption (RAC) is not a standard term relating to alcohol levels in the blood. Blood alcohol level (BAL) is similar to BAC but the more commonly used term in this context is Blood Alcohol Concentration.
