APS, or Administrative Per Se:
In California as with many other states, there are two separate cases that arise from a single drunk driving arrest: the court case, and the Administrative Per Se, or A.P.S. case, with the Department of Motor Vehicles. In cases where someone is arrested for DUI the DMV will take an “administrative action” against the driver. Note: The DMV only allows you Ten days to set a hearing: that is why it is so important to contact a lawyer right away.

Acetone:
an organic compound commonly found in the breath that can be improperly read as alcohol by the Intoxilyzer.
Absorption:
The taking of alcohol from outside the body into the bloodstream. Peak absorption refers to the highest level of blood alcohol seen before blood alcohol content (BAC) begins to diminish.
Arraignment:
The initial court proceeding, where someone arrested for DUI, or any related drinking and driving criminal charge is formally advised of the charges against them, and given an opportunity to enter a plea.
BAC:
Blood alcohol content.
BAL:
Breath alcohol level.
Burnoff:
The ability of the body to metabolize alcohol, and eliminate it from the system through the functioning of the vital organs. The rate of burnoff will vary from person to person, and even be different for the same person depending upon various factors. This is just one of the reasons that retrograde extrapolation is such a difficult task, and why the results are uncertain.
