Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, 10e AB - Myriad medical texts describe the medical consequences of acute and chronic ethanol use. The purpose of this discussion is to describe the history and use of assessments of ethanol induced impairment, primarily in a legal context. Some of the principles described may, however, be extrapolated from the legal to the medical setting. Throughout this chapter, the terms ethanol and alcohol are used interchangeably to retain the forensic, legislative, and medical contexts in which the terms are utilized.
