title: The effects of low alcohol beers on the blood alcohol concentration.
abstract: Drinking of 3 liters of so called low alcohol beer (0.5 vol.% as well as 0.9 vol.%) within 2 hours leads only to very low or no blood alcohol values during a drinking experiment (19 persons). These results are expected considering the kinetics of resorption and elimination of alcohol in human body. Consumption of low alcohol beers instead of traditional beer should have a positive effect on traffic safety.
