Blood alcohol content (BAC), also called blood alcohol concentration, blood ethanol concentration, or blood alcohol level, is most commonly used as a metric of alcohol intoxication for legal or medical purposes. Blood Alcohol Content is the legal name for BAC but Blood Alcohol Concentration is sometimes used for simpler description.
Blood alcohol concentration is usually expressed as a percentage of ethanol in the blood in units of mass of alcohol per volume of blood or mass of alcohol per mass of blood, depending on the country. For instance, in North America a BAC of 0.1 (0.1% or one tenth of one percent) means that there are 0.10 g of alcohol for every dL of blood.
♣ Blood Alcohol Level Chart: Are You Too Drunk to Legally Drive?Blood alcohol content (BAC) or blood alcohol level is the concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream. It is usually measured as mass per volume. For example, a BAC of 0.04% means 0.4% (permille) or 0.04 grams of alcohol per 100 grams of individual's blood. Use the HealthStatus BAC Calculator for informational purposes only, and not to drink and drive or drink and work.
In every state, it’s illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or more. But everyone absorbs and metabolizes alcohol at different rates, and there are lots of factors that affect BAC. So there’s no exact formula for determining how many drinks equates to a given BAC level. The chart below, however, gives BAC estimates that correspond to number drinks consumed and body weight.
Every state in the U.S. has a legal Blood Alchohol (BAC) limit of 0.08% per se. Most states also have lower legal BAC limits for young and inexperienced drivers, professional drivers and commercial drivers. Sentences for drunk driving include imprisonment, large fines, lengthy drivers license suspension and/or revocation, house arrest, community service, DUI schools, alcohol treatment programs, vehicle forfeiture and ignition interlock restrictions.
Important Note: 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. Factors include the sex (male/female) of the drinker, differing metabolism rates, various health issues and the combination of medications that might be taken, drinking frequency, amount of food in the stomach and small intestine and when it was eaten, elapsed time, and others. The best that can be done is a rough estimation of the BAC level based on known inputs.
♣ BAC calculator and BAC Chart Values:This online BAC calculator is developed by Celtickane.com and is good for estimating your BAC level, but your actual BAC will vary depending on a host of different factors, such as your hydration status, recent meals, fluid intake, kidney function, and much more.They shared some guideline of the BAC Chart Values:
BAC Chart Values
0.00 – 0.03% Normal behavior, no impairment
0.03 – 0.06% Mild euphoria and impairment; decreased inhibitions
0.06 – 0.10% Buzzed, euphoric, increased impairment
0.10 – 0.20% Drunk, emotional swings, slurred speech, nausea, loss of reaction time and motor control
0.20 – 0.30% Confused, nauseated, poor mentation, blackout
0.30 – 0.40% Possibly unconscious, unarrousable, loss of bladder function, risk of death
Above 0.40% Unconscious, coma, impaired breathing, risk of death
Important Notes:
If you’re typing in a custom percent alcohol, remember that the proof of an alcohol is double the percent (e.g. 80 proof alcohol is 40%)
If you’re entering a mixed drink, only count the number of shots you put in (not the drink’s total volume)
Everyone is different — BAC calculators are merely an estimate. A breathalyzer or blood test is the only way to have an accurate measurement.
This calculator assumes the legal limit for driving is 0.08% and 21 years old. Please note that the legal limit for driving may vary depending on state/country and your age.
