EXPLORE THE ESTIMATED ALCOHOL CONTENTS FOR MEN AND WOMEN
Your BAC or blood alcohol content will depend on a number of factors. Men and women have different BAC levels at different weights. It will also depend on how fast your body eliminates alcohol over time. The charts on this page contain estimates of what your BAC should be. These charts should not be relied on to establish whether or not you can drive. The best and safest answer to the BAC dilemma is to have a designated driver.
