How to Estimate Blood Alcohol Content

Formula

The Widmark formula estimates BAC based on alcohol consumed, body weight, gender, and time. The body metabolizes alcohol at approximately 0.015% BAC per hour.

This is an estimate only. Actual BAC depends on many factors including food intake, medications, hydration, and individual metabolism.

Common use cases:

  • Responsible drinking awareness
  • Understanding impairment levels
  • Educational alcohol safety
