Methodology

Click to expand our BAC calculator methodology

This calculator uses the standard version of the Widmark formula to produce the BAC estimate.

A common version is: BAC = [Alcohol (g) / (Body weight (g) x r)] x 100

Alcohol (g): The mass of pure alcohol consumed.
Body weight (g): The person's weight.
r: The Widmark factor, a gender-specific constant for body water (typically 0.68 for males and 0.55 for females).

To account for alcohol elimination over time, a rate (β) is subtracted:

BAC = [Alcohol (g) / (Body weight (g) x r)] x 100 – (Hours x β)

Hours: Time passed since drinking started.
β (beta): The elimination rate, averaging 0.015% per hour.
