Your Information

Drinks Consumed

Add each drink type and quantity. Standard drink = 12oz beer (5%), 5oz wine (12%), or 1.5oz spirits (40%).

How BAC Is Calculated

This estimator uses the Widmark formula — the same basis used in forensic toxicology. It accounts for body weight, sex-based distribution ratios, alcohol metabolism rate (~0.015% per hour), and food intake.

Why BAC Evidence Is Challengeable

Breathalyzer results can be affected by calibration, partition ratio variation, mouth alcohol, and test timing. Blood tests have chain-of-custody requirements. Our attorneys know how to attack each issue.

The 10-Day DMV Deadline

After a DUI arrest you have only 10 days to request a DMV hearing to contest your license suspension — completely separate from criminal court. Call us immediately after any DUI arrest.
