How To
Calculate Your Estimated
Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)
Showing
estimated percent of alcohol in the blood by number of drinks in
relation to body weight. This percent can be estimated by:
1.
Count your drinks (1 drink equals 1 ounce of 100-proof
liquor, one five ounce glass of table wine or one 12-ounce bottle
of regular beer).
2.
Use the chart below and under number of "drinks" and
opposite "body weight" find the percent of blood alcohol
listed.
3.
Subtract from this number the percent of alcohol "burned
up" during the time elapsed since your first drink. This
figure is .015% per hour. (Example: 180 lb. man - 8 drinks in
4 hours / .167% minus (.015x4) = .107 %
