If you are trying to estimate when you may be sober, use the time to 0.0 as a rough guide and leave extra margin.

Important: this is an estimate only, not legal or medical advice.

Estimate BAC, time to sober up, and how long alcohol may stay in your system based on drinks, body weight, sex, and time. Guidance only, not legal or medical advice.

This page is built for the real question most people have after drinking: not just what the BAC number is, but when they may be closer to sober again and when driving is clearly a bad idea.

Enter drinks, body weight, biological sex, and elapsed time to get a rough BAC estimate and a time-to-clear projection for personal planning.

The result is only an estimate. Impairment, local laws, and individual metabolism vary, so do not treat it as legal permission to drive.

FAQs

Can this tell me exactly when I am safe to drive?

No. It gives an estimate, not a legal or medical clearance. If there is any doubt, do not drive.

What does the calculator use?

It uses your drinks, body weight, biological sex, and time since drinking to estimate BAC and alcohol clearance.

Why can two people get different results from the same drinks?

Body size, metabolism, pace of drinking, food intake, and individual response to alcohol can all change the outcome.

Is the BAC result enough on its own?

No. Even if the estimate looks lower, judgment and reaction time can still be impaired.

What should I do if I need certainty?

Wait longer than the estimate suggests or choose a safe alternative such as a taxi, ride share, or designated driver.
