Abstract A nonlinear relationship between the total area under the blood ethanol concentration-time curve and the orally administered dose (mg/kg) of ethanol was observed in fasting subjects. A preliminary model, based on physiological considerations, was elaborated and shown, for the first time, to describe the entire time course of blood alcohol concentrations after four different doses of alcohol. The model could be refined by further experimentation.
