The Drunk Weight Calculator is a simple tool designed to estimate your blood alcohol content (BAC) based on your gender, weight, the number of drinks you’ve consumed, and the time since your first drink. Understanding your BAC can help you make responsible decisions and stay safe.
Formula
The calculator uses the Widmark formula to estimate BAC, which is based on your gender, weight, the number of drinks, and the time since your first drink. The formula is as follows:
For Males: BAC = (A × 5.14 / W × r) – 0.015 × H For Females: BAC = (A × 5.14 / W × r) – 0.015 × H
Where:
- A represents the number of drinks consumed
- W is your weight in pounds
- r is the alcohol distribution ratio (0.68 for males and 0.55 for females)
- H is the number of hours since your first drink
How to Use
- Select your gender from the dropdown.
- Enter your weight in pounds.
- Input the number of drinks you’ve had.
- Specify the hours that have passed since your first drink.
- Click the “Calculate” button to obtain your estimated BAC.
Example
Let’s say a male weighing 160 pounds has consumed 4 drinks over the course of 2 hours. By using the Drunk Weight Calculator, his estimated BAC would be calculated as follows:
- Gender: Male
- Weight: 160 pounds
- Drinks: 4
- Hours: 2
The calculated BAC would be displayed on the page.
