Our alcohol macro calculator will help you quickly determine the exact number of calories from your alcoholic beverages.
How to use the Alcohol Macro Calculator
To use this calculator, follow these steps:
- Select your gender from the dropdown menu.
- Enter your weight in kilograms.
- Enter the number of standard drinks you have consumed. A standard drink typically contains 14 grams of pure alcohol (e.g., 1.5 oz of liquor, 5 oz of wine, 12 oz of beer).
- Enter the number of hours that have elapsed since you started drinking.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC):
BAC = (Alcohol Consumed in Grams / (Weight in Grams × Gender Constant)) × 100 – (Elimination Rate × Hours)
The gender constant is 0.68 for males and 0.55 for females, and the elimination rate is typically 0.015 per hour.
Note: This calculation provides an estimate and assumes standard drink definitions and metabolic rates, which can vary among individuals.
Limitations
The calculator has a few important limitations:
- It assumes all drinks are standard drinks. Actual alcohol content can vary.
- Individual metabolic rates can differ, affecting BAC levels.
- It does not account for food intake, medications, or other factors.
- Seek professional medical advice for health-related decisions.
