Understanding Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)
Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is a precise measure of the alcohol concentration in your bloodstream. It's expressed as a percentage that represents the weight of alcohol (in grams) per 100 milliliters of blood. This scientific measurement is crucial for understanding intoxication levels and their effects on the human body.
Factors Affecting BAC
- Body Weight: Heavier individuals generally have lower BAC from the same amount of alcohol
- Gender: Women typically have higher BAC than men after consuming the same amount
- Metabolism: Liver processes alcohol at about 0.015% BAC per hour
- Food Intake: Eating before drinking slows alcohol absorption
- Medications: Certain drugs can intensify alcohol effects
Metabolism Process
Alcohol is metabolized primarily in the liver by enzymes. The average metabolism rate is about 0.015% BAC per hour, though this varies by individual. This means that after reaching peak BAC, your body will eliminate alcohol at this steady rate regardless of coffee, cold showers, or other folk remedies.
This calculator provides estimates only. Actual BAC can vary by up to 30% based on individual factors. Never drive after drinking any amount of alcohol.
