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.
