Blood Alcohol level
A person's blood alcohol content level, together with other
factors, impact a drunk driving charge.
Calculating Estimated Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)
To estimate the percentage of alcohol in the bloodstream
by the number of drinks consumed given a person's weight:
- Count your drinks (1 drink equals 1 ounce of 100-proof
liquor, one five ounce glass of table wine or one 12-ounce bottle of
regular beer).
- Use the chart below and under number of "drinks"
and opposite "body weight" find the percent of blood alcohol
listed.
- Subtract from this number the percent of alcohol "burned
up" during the time elapsed since your first drink.
This figure is .015% per hour. (Example: 180 lb. man - 8
drinks in 4 hours / .167% minus (.015x4) = .107 %
