Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Calculator

Your BAC is Approximately: Waiting for calculation result...

BAC Calculator Tool Introduction

Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) refers to the percentage of alcohol in your bloodstream and can usually be measured 30-70 minutes after drinking. BAC levels are influenced by factors such as weight, age, gender, height, alcohol concentration, the amount consumed, and an individual's alcohol tolerance. Our BAC Calculator combines these factors to provide an estimate of your alcohol level.

It’s important to note that alcohol metabolism varies by individual, depending on factors such as health, drinking history, diet, and more. This tool serves as a reference and should not be used for making medical or legal decisions.

BAC Reference Ranges:

0.00% - 0.02%: Although there are no obvious effects and it is generally considered safe, any level of alcohol can pose a slight risk to driving.

0.02% - 0.04%: A slight sense of relaxation that may slightly impair judgment and motor skills; still under the legal limit in most regions, but driving carries risks.

0.04% - 0.06%: Begins to significantly impact coordination, attention, and judgment, increasing driving risk; exceeds legal limits in some areas.
