Just how much drinking is too much? A person's blood-alcohol level is the result of a complex interaction of their weight and gender, the amount of alcohol they consume and the length of time they've been drinking. Use the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) estimator to see just how little alcohol it takes to put a person over the legal limit. Florida's BAC limit is 0.08% for drivers 21-years-of-age and older, 0.04% for drivers with a Commercial Driver License (CDL) license and 0.02% for drivers under 21-years-of-age.

NOTE: The formula for estimating a person's blood-alcohol concentration comes from The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Each drink in the estimation assumes a volume of 0.6 ounces of alcohol, the equivalent of 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor, one 5-ounce glass of 12% alcohol wine or one 12-ounce can of 5% alcohol beer.

*Due to the number of factors involved, no formula can accurately determine BAC solely from the information provided through the use of this estimating program. An individual's BAC depends upon the person's gender, weight, metabolism, time period over which the alcohol was consumed and the amount of food in the stomach prior to drinking, among other factors. Although a person's BAC can be estimated, the level cannot be determined solely by the number of drinks consumed, and cannot be precisely estimated by a person's weight. The results shown here should be considered only a rough estimate of one's blood alcohol content based on known inputs. You should not consider this to be a guideline for how much you may or can drink and still drive responsibly or avoid being arrested.
