This tool will convert a concentration from milligrams per liter (mg/L) to blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for you.
How to Use the Calculator
To use this Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) calculator based on milligrams per liter (mg/L), please follow these steps:
- Enter the concentration of alcohol in the drink in mg/L.
- Enter your body weight in kilograms.
- Enter the volume of alcohol consumed in liters.
- Enter the time since you’ve consumed the alcohol in hours.
- Select your gender.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the estimated BAC percentage.
Explanation of Calculation
This calculator uses the Widmark formula to estimate BAC:
- Concentration (mg/L): The concentration of alcohol in the drink.
- Body Weight (kg): Your weight, which affects how alcohol is distributed in the body.
- Volume Consumed (L): The total volume of alcohol consumed in liters.
- Time Since Consumption (hours): The time elapsed since you consumed the alcohol.
- Gender: Men and women have different body water percentages, which affects BAC.
Limitations
Please note that this calculator provides an estimate of your BAC and should not be used as a precise measure of your sobriety. The following factors can affect the accuracy of the result:
- Individual differences in alcohol metabolism rates.
- Variations in body fat percentage and mass.
- Other factors affecting absorption and processing of alcohol.
