Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is the amount of
alcohol in the bloodstream. A BAC of .05 means the
person has .05 grams of alcohol in every 100 mL of their
blood.
As the liver metabolizes alcohol at about one standard
drink per hour, the BAC level drops unless more alcohol
is consumed. BAC is measured with a breathalyzer, or by
analyzing a sample of blood.
Factors affecting your BAC
The more a person drinks, the higher their BAC. But 2
people who drink the same amount might register quite
different BACs.
Body size: A smaller person will have a higher BAC than
a larger person because the alcohol is concentrated in a
smaller body mass.
Empty stomach: Someone with an empty stomach will reach
a higher BAC sooner than someone who has just eaten a
meal. Food in the stomach slows down the rate at which
alcohol passes into the bloodstream.
Body fat: People with a lot of body fat tend to have
higher BACs because alcohol is not absorbed into fatty
tissue and the alcohol is concentrated in a smaller body
mass.
Women: After drinking the same amount of alcohol, a
woman will almost always have a higher BAC than a male.
Because of all these variable factors, counting the
number of standard drinks you consume can give only a
rough guide to your BAC.
DISCLAIMER: The results generated by the BAC Calculator
are rough estimates of an average healthy person's BAC
assuming typical beverage sizes, recipes and alcohol
content. The BAC estimates generated by the BAC
Calculator should not be used to infer anyone's fitness
to work, drive or perform any other task or duty and is
