What is Blood Alcohol Calculator?

▾

A Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) calculator estimates alcohol concentration in the blood using the Widmark formula. BAC is affected by drinks consumed, time elapsed, body weight, and sex.

Calkulon makes complex calculations simple — built for students and everyday problem-solvers.

Vzorec

▾
f(x)BAC = (Alcohol grams) / (Body weight kg × r) × 100 − (0.015 × hours), where r=0.68 (male), 0.55 (female)

How to Blood Alcohol Calculator

▾
  1. 1BAC = (Alcohol consumed in grams) / (Body weight in g × r) − (0.015 × hours)
  2. 2r = 0.68 for men, 0.55 for women (body water distribution)
  3. 3Standard UK unit = 8g alcohol; US standard drink = 14g
  4. 4Legal UK driving limit: 80mg/100mL blood (0.08%)

Worked Examples

▾
Example 1
Given:2 pints beer (4.5%), 80kg male, 1 hour
Výsledok:Alcohol ≈ 45.4g; BAC ≈ 45.4/(80,000×0.68) − 0.015 ≈ 0.068%

Frequently Asked Questions

▾
Q

Why do women get drunk faster?

A

Women have lower body water % (r=0.55 vs 0.68 for men) and typically lower body weight, concentrating alcohol more.

Q

What's the UK legal driving limit?

A

80 mg/100 mL blood (0.08% BAC) in England/Wales/Scotland. Scotland's limit is lower: 50 mg/100 mL.

Q

Can food affect BAC calculation?

A

Food slows absorption but doesn't reduce total BAC. It delays peak BAC by 30-60 minutes.
