If you have ever been arrested for drunk driving you were probably given some sort of chemical test to determine your blood alcohol content.
The most common chemical tests include a breath test or blood test.
Many jurisdictions have statutes that allow prosecutors to give presumptive effect to chemical test readings of blood-alcohol content.
In other words, if a person's blood alcohol content is at a certain level, the court will presume automatically that the person was driving under the influence of alcohol.
