It has recently been concluded that if the blood alcohol concentration in drivers is lognormally distributed, the proportion of drivers with blood alcohol concentrations above a certain level does not depend on the mean of the population. This conclusion is shown to be wrong, and approximate formulas for evaluating the change in the proportion from changes in the mean and standard deviation of the population are given
