Blood Alcohol Calculator
  • Blood Alcohol Level must be greater than the Goal Blood Alcohol Level.
  • This calculator estimates the time duration for metabolism (as compared to the day the blood was drawn on).
  • The earlier estimation is based upon metabolism at 30 mg/dL/hr (Alcoholic) and the later estimation is based upon 15mg/dL/hr (Naïve drinkers).
