?Frequently Asked Questions
How is BAC calculated?
BAC is calculated using the Widmark formula, which considers the amount of alcohol consumed, your body weight, gender (affecting water content), and time elapsed since drinking.
What BAC level is considered drunk?
In most places, 0.08% is the legal limit for driving. However, impairment begins at much lower levels. Even 0.02% can affect judgment and coordination.
How long does it take to sober up?
On average, the body metabolizes alcohol at about 0.015% per hour. The time to sober up depends on your current BAC level.
Is this calculator accurate?
This provides an estimate only. Actual BAC can vary based on many factors including food intake, medications, metabolism, and health conditions. Never rely solely on calculators - when in doubt, don't drive.
