Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this BAC calculator?

What counts as one standard drink?
A standard drink is typically 12 oz of regular beer, 5 oz of wine, or 1.5 oz of distilled spirits — each containing about 14 grams of pure alcohol.
Can I use this to decide if I'm safe to drive?
No. This calculator is for educational purposes only. Never rely on a BAC estimate to determine if you're safe to drive — always arrange a sober ride if you've been drinking.
