Cogorza

A program to predict BAC in bloodstream giving a set of drinks by assuming mass conservation.

---

Requirements:

• python 3
• numpy
• pandas
• matplotlib
• scipy

---

Input parameters:

• Body Mass: M (in kg)

• Gender : man/woman

• Mass to blood ratio: Cs (L/kg) : 0.067 L/kg

• Proportion of alcohol absorbed : Abs : 10% for man, 12% for woman

• Time of alcohol absorption : tabs (between 15 and 60 min, depending on amount and type of food in stomach)

• initial BAC : a0 (by default, 0 g/L)

• simulation lenght : in hours

• time step integration, in seconds (by default, 1s)

• start time of simulation (0 s by default)

• For each drink:

1. Volumne ingested (in mL)
2. Strenght of alcoholic drink (divided by 100, ej. beer of 5% graduation is 0.05)
3. initial time of ingestion (in seconds since start time)
4. final time of ingestion (in secods from start time of simulation)

Resources:

• An implementation of Python program is provided in Cogorza.py file. The same implementation is provided in jupyter notebook version (Cogorza.ipynb).

• BACPY.csv is the output data file provided by running the program

• The "Ouput" folder, a set of output examples are presented as png files. Example:
