Calculation Logic
Widmark Formula:
BAC (%) =
[Alcohol Consumed (g) ÷ (Body Weight (g) × r) × 100] - (0.015 × Time (hrs))
- Alcohol Consumed (g): Standard drinks × 14g per drink
- Body Weight (g): Weight in kg × 1000
- r: Gender constant (male: 0.68, female: 0.55; other: 0.61)
- Time (hrs): Hours since start of drinking
- Elimination Rate: 0.015% per hour (average)
Interpretation: BAC above 0.03% exceeds India’s legal driving limit. Personal impairment may begin at lower levels for some users.
💡 Smart Safety Tips for Indian Users
- Never drive or operate machinery if your BAC exceeds 0.03%—this is the legal limit in India.
- The effects of alcohol vary widely based on body weight, age, and metabolism; always err on the side of caution.
- Eat before drinking to slow alcohol absorption and reduce overall BAC.
- Drink water between alcoholic drinks to stay hydrated and reduce aftereffects.
- Use ride-sharing services or public transport for returning home after drinking.
- Remember, Indian states may have their own legal BAC limits—check local laws before traveling.
- If you feel dizzy, nauseous, or confused, seek help immediately regardless of calculated BAC.
📝 Example Scenarios
👨💼 Ankit, 27, IT Engineer in Hyderabad
Ankit enjoys 4 drinks at a party over 3 hours. Given his weight and gender, the calculator estimates his BAC at 0.07%—over twice India’s legal driving limit. He chooses a cab instead of driving home.
👩🔬 Riya, 35, Biologist in Mumbai
Riya consumes 2 drinks in 2 hours and plans to drive. Her BAC calculation is 0.02%—below the legal threshold. She feels fine but waits an extra hour and drinks water before heading out to be extra safe.
