Blood Alcohol Calculator

While the “sweetest spot” is not drinking at all, Deacs who do choose to drink alcohol should be smart about it. The pleasurable effects of alcohol end after a BAC of .o5 which is why we call it “the sweet spot.” Drinking to a BAC above .o5 will not increase the pleasurable effects of alcohol, only the negative ones. So if you do choose to drink, be alcohol smart. Use this calculator to help you find your sweet spot – it’s science.

The BAC calculator below can assist you in planning out your night to find your “sweet spot”. Enter the length of time you plan to drink, the number of standard drinks you plan to consume, your current weight, and select your birth/biological sex.  The tool will also tell you how many hours it will take for your BAC to return to zero. 

In the United States, a standard drink contains 0.6 fluid ounces or 14 grams of pure alcohol. One standard drink is equal to 12 fl oz of regular beer = 8-9 fl oz of malt liquor = 5 fl oz of table wine = 1.5 fl oz shot of 80-proof distilled spirits (gin, rum, tequila, vodka, whiskey, etc.)
