Frequently Asked Questions

Using the Widmark formula: BAC = (Alcohol in grams / (Body weight × distribution ratio)) - (0.015 × hours). The distribution ratio is 0.68 for men and 0.55 for women.

In the US, the legal limit is 0.08% for drivers 21+. Many countries have lower limits (0.05% in Australia, 0.03% in Japan). Commercial drivers in the US have a 0.04% limit.

How This Was Calculated
Widmark Formula:
BAC = (Alcohol in grams / (Body weight in grams x r)) - (0.015 x hours)
Alcohol consumed: 3 x 12oz x 5% ABV = 42.0g
Widmark r factor (male): 0.68
Raw BAC (before metabolism): 0.001%
Metabolized (2.0h x 0.015): 0.030%
Estimated BAC: 0.000%
This is an estimate only based on the Widmark formula. Many factors affect actual BAC including food intake, body composition, hydration, medications, and individual metabolism. When in doubt, do not drive. If you or someone you know may have alcohol poisoning, call emergency services immediately.
