NOTE: This question includes a $20 tip if answered prior to April 5 @ 5:00 AM PST.

I would like a graph (or formula / table of numbers that I can graph)
of my blood alcohol content (BAC) as a function of time (in
minutes)over t = 0 minutes and t = 150 minutes given the following
information:

-I consumed 3.5 standard mixed drinks evenly over a time period
between t= 0 minutes and t = 90 minutes.
-I had a measured BAC of .095% at t= 120 minutes.
-I had a measured BAC of .12% at t= 130 minutes.
-I had a measured BAC of .10% at t= 133 minutes.
-I am a Caucasian female weighing 150 lbs and I had a relatively full stomach
throughout the above time period.

I understand that the graph cannot be exact and I am happy to see it
created with the use of commonly accepted averages of
absorption/elimination rates. I've done some research on "retrograde
extrapolation" of BACs over time but I'm not comfortable putting it
into a formula that seems credible.

Thanks for your help.

Were these BAC values obtained through a breathalyzer, or through blood samples?
