How To Calculate Your Estimated Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)

The estimated percent of alcohol in the blood by number of drinks in relation to body weight can be estimated by:

  1. Counting your drinks. Remember: 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. Under number of "drinks" and opposite "body weight" find the percent of blood alcohol listed by using the table below

  3. After finding this number, subtract the percent of alcohol taken in during the time elapsed since your first drink. This figure is .015% per hour. For example: 180 lb. man - 8 drinks in 4 hours / .167% minus (.015x4) = .107%
