What happens at your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC)?

BAC 0.05 (g/100 ml of blood or g/210 l of breath)

  • You are considered legally impaired in some countries.
  • You might feel ok, but your driving skills will have deteriorated rapidly.
  • Your self-confidence improves and you may even feel more alert and active.
But don't be fooled. The first organ to be affected is your brain - and that means a lack of judgment.

BAC 0.08 (g/100 ml of blood or g/210 l of breath)

  • You are legally impaired in most countries and could lose your license on the spot.
  • Your sense of balance is affected.
  • Your ability to drive is dangerously diminished due to a lack of fine motor control.
  • You find it hard to concentrate.
  • Your reaction time has slowed significantly.
Never drive at this level.

The basic formula for estimating a person's blood-alcohol concentration comes from The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Important Note: There is no blood alcohol calculator that is 100% accurate because of the number of factors that come into play regarding the consumption and reduction (burnoff) rates of different people. Factors include differing metabolism rates, various health issues and the combination of medications that might be taken, drinking frequency, amount of food in the stomach and small intestine and when it was eaten, elapsed time, and others.

Disclaimer: This is in no way purported to be a guideline for how much you can drink and still drive or avoid being arrested! The best policy is don't drink & drive.
