Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Calculator / Virtual Breathalyzer v2.0
This is the most accurate BAC Calculator that can be found anywhere on the net. It was specifically designed for the 40-oz Warriors and uses the Legal standard Widmark Formula for all computations. For more info see how breathalyzers work. Check your results offline with EZALC.
NOTE: * Note: Nothing sobers up a drinker except time. There is no blood alcohol calculator that is 100% accurate because of the number of factors that come into play regarding the consumption and reduction (burnoff) rates of different people. People being what they are with different metabolism rates, various health issues and the combination of medications that might be taken, drinking frequency and other such factors, the best that can be done is a rough estimation of the BAC level based on known inputs
Factors
- FLUID OUNCES CONSUMED - (Beer ~ 12 oz., Wine Glass ~ 4 oz., 1 Shot ~ 1.5 oz)
- ALCOHOL PERCENTAGE IN BEVERAGE - (Beer ~ 4-4.5%, Wine ~ 15-20%, 1 Shot ~ 30-50%)
- SEX - (male / female liquid weight)
- WEIGHT - (body weight in Lbs.)
- HOURS CONSUMING DRINK - Metabolism (rate of absorption)

- .02

*note: For the chart above, a drink is considered to be one
ounce of liquor (a shot), four ounces of wine, or one 12-oz.
can or bottle of beer. People who have built a high tolerance
will not necessarily experience the symptoms noted. However,
a high tolerance is a sign of other problems.
* Please note that gender, body size and type, fatigue, recent
illness, food content in stomach, altitude, age, and use of
other drugs and/ or medications will alter the effects of alcohol
in all of these quantities. For more information contact the
Alcohol and Drug program.
*All computations are based on Widmark's Formula for BAC and is the standard for court cases where BAC is concerned.
