A very simplified model for the dynamical processes occurring when an animal is given a drug can be represented by the single compartmental model shown below:
![]()
Upon administration of the drug, there is absorption into the body. Subsequently, the drug is converted to metabolites and/or is physically eliminated. As a result, the amount of drug in the body at any time is the net transient response to these input and output processes.
Find the maximum "body" alcohol level in grams and the time when it occurs for a 70 kg human who quickly consumes one can of beer. Assume the absorption and elimination rates are first-order.
Data: The mass of one can of beer is 400 g and contains 5 wt. % alcohol.
