How to Use the BAC Calculator:
Our calculator is simple and easy to use. Just follow these steps:
- Weight (lbs): Enter your weight in pounds.

What Does Your Estimated BAC Mean?
Your estimated BAC will be displayed in decimal form, with .00 being completely sober and .10 being legally impaired in most states. Here's a rough guide to help you understand your BAC:
- BAC of .02-.04: You're slightly buzzed but still able to walk and talk coherently.
- BAC of .05-.08: You're mildly impaired, with some loss of judgment and coordination.
- BAC of .09-.12: You're legally impaired and may experience significant impairment in judgment, coordination, and reaction time.
- BAC above .12: You're severely impaired and may be at risk for serious accidents, injuries, or even death.
