The third question I asked myself was how to estimate the peak of blood alcohol concentration. If the alcohol is drank within a short period of time, this question can be answered by using the first model: t_p1=ln〖k-ln〖k_0 〗 〗/(k-k_0 )=1.2217
According to this number, we can see that t_p1is in fact a constant, which means that it has nothing to do with the amount of alcohol consumed. Therefore, according to this model, a person’s blood alcohol concentration would be likely the highest after 1.2217 hours of drinking the alcohol. However, when the alcohol is slowly drank over a long period of time, we need to use the second model instead, and recognize that t_p2 also has nothing to do with the amount of alcohol consumer.

However, this weakness is fixed to my best capability as I found statistics from experiments other people did online to carry out my own experiments and find results.
Another major weakness is the fact that I made many assumptions when making the models to simplify the process, where as these assumptions I made could potentially make a great difference towards the results I achieve in the end. I did not make an attempt to try adding all the other factors into my model, as it is too complicated for the purpose of this internal assessment. However, I realized that I could still make in more consideration of the factors of the human body and of different types of alcohol etc.
On the other hand, one positive aspect of my experiment is that I achieved results that are ideal and can achieve my purpose—which is to learn more about drunk driving and alcohol level in blood, and also to help others realize when it is okay or not okay to drive after drinking as my graphs are close representatives of
