How it Works
1. Quantify Body Mass.
2. Select Biological Sex constant.
3. Input ethanol grams (standard drinks).
4. Apply metabolic decay rate (0.015% per hour).
What is Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Estimator?
Calculates the theoretical concentration of ethanol in the bloodstream based on mass, biological sex, intake volume, and metabolic decay over time.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Weigh: Input current mass.
- Catalog: Count standard drinks.
- Time: Hours since first sip.
- Analyze: View estimated BAC %.
Example
Input: 80kg, 3 Drinks, 2 Hrs
Result: 0.04%
FAQ
What is the Widmark Formula?
The standard forensic equation used to estimate BAC based on body water content and alcohol mass.
Does food lower BAC?
Food slows absorption but does not reduce the total amount of alcohol that eventually enters the bloodstream.
How fast does BAC drop?
The average elimination rate is 0.015% per hour, though this varies by liver function.
Do women have higher BAC?
Generally yes, due to a lower average percentage of body water compared to men of the same weight.
Is this legal proof?
No. Only a breathalyzer or blood test provides legally admissible BAC evidence.

Conclusion
Metabolic rates vary by individual. This forensic estimation provides a theoretical baseline but cannot account for food intake, medication, or genetic enzyme variances.
