How to use this calculator

A standard US drink contains 14 g of alcohol: 12 oz of beer, 5 oz of wine or 1.5 oz of spirits. The body removes roughly 0.015 % BAC per hour.

This is a rough estimate; real BAC depends on food, medication and metabolism. Never use it to decide whether you can drive — if you drink, don’t drive.
