One of the rare defenses used in DUI and DWI cases is the "deficiency of zinc" defenses.
Credible research indicates that in some DUI and DWI cases a high blood-alcohol level may not be indicative of alcohol consumption, but rather may be caused by a deficiency of zinc in the blood. In a study conducted at the University of North Dakota and reported in 46 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 688 (1987), researchers experimented with the physiological effects of diets that had varied amounts of zinc. They discovered that the metabolism of alcohol was dramatically affected by zinc intake.
For instance, researchers found that for those subjects on a low zinc diet, blood-alcohol levels increased rapidly within 15 minutes of consumption of measured amounts of alcohol : roughly twice as much alcohol was present in their blood at this time as was present in those subjects on normal zinc diets. And, in addition, greater of alcohol remained in the blood for a longer period of time when there was a zinc deficiency --- that is, elimination rates were decreased.
In sum, an individual with an insufficient amount of zinc in his diet will have higher peak blood-alcohol concentrations, and the alcohol will remain in his blood for a longer period of time.
