Rough estimate only. Never drive after drinking. This tool cannot tell you if you're safe to drive, and real BAC depends on many factors it can't measure — food, medication, metabolism and more.

FAQ

How is BAC estimated here?

It uses the Widmark formula: BAC% equals standard drinks times 0.6 times 5.14, divided by weight in pounds times a sex-based constant, minus 0.015 times hours elapsed, floored at zero.

What counts as a standard drink?

About 0.6 fl oz (14 grams) of pure alcohol — roughly a 12 oz beer, a 5 oz glass of wine, or a 1.5 oz shot of spirits.

Can this tell me if I'm safe to drive?

No. This tool only shows a rough number. It cannot account for food, medication, individual metabolism or many other factors, and should never be used to decide whether to drive.
