Cómo funciona la Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Calculator
The calculation is based on the Widmark formula: BAC (‰) = alcohol (g) ÷ (body weight (kg) × r × 10) − (0.15 × hours).
The reduction factor r accounts for body composition differences: males = 0.68 (more muscle mass, more body water), females = 0.55. Alcohol in grams is calculated as: volume (ml) × ABV (%) × 0.789 (density of ethanol). The body processes alcohol at roughly 0.10–0.15‰ per hour; this calculator uses 0.15 ‰/h. The legal driving limit in Germany is 0.5‰ (approx. 0.05% BAC in US/UK terms).
Disclaimer: This calculator provides estimates only. Individual factors such as food intake, medications and metabolism can significantly affect actual BAC.
