About this tool

This calculator estimates blood alcohol concentration from your weight, sex, the number of standard drinks and the time since your first drink, using the well-known Widmark formula and a typical rate of metabolism.

It is strictly an educational estimate. Real blood alcohol depends on many factors this can’t capture — food, medication, body composition and individual differences — so the number can be very wrong for any given person. Never use it to decide whether it is safe or legal to drive. Everything is computed in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How is BAC estimated?

It uses the Widmark formula with sex-based body-water factors, then subtracts roughly 0.015% per hour for metabolism. It's an approximation.

Can I use this to decide whether to drive?

No. Real BAC depends on food, medication, health and more. Never use any estimate to decide whether it's safe or legal to drive.
