Blood Alcohol Calculator
Blood Alcohol Calculator is a browser-based calculator tool on CalcToolsBase. Estimate blood alcohol concentration with the Widmark formula — for education only, never for deciding whether to drive. To use it, enter your values and view the result directly in your browser — no signup and nothing to install.
Blood Alcohol Calculator takes your body weight, sex, number of drinks and drink size and gives back an estimated BAC — a guide, never a sobriety test, applying the Widmark estimation. It's a quick, browser-based way to estimate blood alcohol concentration.
About this calculator
Blood Alcohol Calculator exists to estimate blood alcohol concentration with the least fuss. From your body weight, sex, number of drinks and drink size it derives an estimated BAC — a guide, never a sobriety test using the Widmark estimation, all on your device. There are no accounts, no adverts in the result, and nothing leaves your browser.
This is a rough educational model. Real BAC depends on food, hydration, medication, genetics, and health, and impairment can occur below any legal limit. Never use an estimate to decide whether it is safe to drive.
How to use
- Enter your body weight and select your sex.
- Enter the number of drinks, their size in ml, and ABV %.
- Enter hours since your first drink.
- Press Calculate to see an educational BAC estimate.

Technical notes
Blood Alcohol Calculator estimates BAC with the Widmark formula — alcohol (g) ÷ (body weight × the sex constant) − 0.015 × hours since drinking. It is an estimate only, never a fitness-to-drive test.
These are general-population estimates and not a substitute for advice from a qualified clinician.
Results are rounded for display; the underlying calculation keeps full precision.
FAQ
How is BAC estimated here?
It uses the Widmark formula, dividing grams of alcohol by body water (from weight and a sex factor) and subtracting alcohol metabolised over time.
Why does sex change the BAC estimate?
The Widmark factor differs by sex because body-water proportion differs on average, so the same drinks can produce a higher estimated BAC for women than men.
Why is this not safe for driving decisions?
It is only an average model and ignores food, medication, and individual differences, so it can understate real impairment — never use it to judge fitness to drive.
Does the Blood Alcohol Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Blood Alcohol Calculator runs entirely in your browser — your inputs never leave your device, and nothing is uploaded or stored.
Worked example
For a 70 kg man, two 355 ml drinks at 5% ABV is about 2 × 355 × 0.05 × 0.789 ≈ 28 g of alcohol. The Widmark estimate is 28 ÷ (70,000 g × 0.68) × 100 ≈ 0.059% before metabolism is subtracted. This is an educational estimate only — never use it to decide whether to drive.
