DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! See how little alcohol is required to change the alcohol content of your blood stream.
The BAC (blood alcohol content) Calculator
This blood alcohol content or BAC, for short, calculator can estimate your blood alcohol levels. Metabolism, body fat percentage and medication are other factors that can affect the rate of absorption by the body, and these are not considered in this calculation.
Blood alcohol content (BAC) or blood alcohol level is the concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream. It is usually measured as mass per volume. For example, a Blood alcohol content BAC of 0.04% means 0.4% (permille) or 0.04 grams of alcohol per 100 grams of individual’s blood. Use the HealthStatus (HealthStatus DE) BAC Calculator for informational purposes only, and not to drink and drive or drink and work.
Important Note: There is no BAC calculator that is 100% accurate. This is due to the number of factors that come into play regarding the consumption and alcohol processing rates of different people. Factors include the gender of the drinker (biologic, not identity), their differing metabolism rates, various health issues, and the combination of medications and supplements that might be taken by the drinker, drinking frequency, amount of food in the stomach and small intestine and when it was eaten, elapsed time, and other factors. The best that can be done is a rough estimation of the bloodstreams alcohol content or the BAC level based on known inputs.
Every state in the U.S. has a legal Blood Alcohol (BAC) limit of 0.005% or 0.08%, (depending on the state you are driving in). Most states also have lower legal BAC limits for young and inexperienced drivers, professional drivers and commercial drivers. Sentences for drunk driving include imprisonment, large fines, lengthy drivers license suspension and/or revocation, house arrest, community service, DUI schools, alcohol treatment programs, vehicle forfeiture and ignition interlock restrictions.
Impaired driving as a problem:
- Among drivers with BAC levels of 0.08% or higher involved in fatal crashes in 2016, nearly three in 10 were between 25 and 34 years of age (27%). The next two largest groups were ages 21 to 24 (26%) and 35 to 44 (22%).
- In 2016, 10,497 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for 28% of all traffic-related deaths in the United States.
- Every day, 29 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver according to the CDC.
- Of the 1,233 traffic deaths among children ages 0 to 14 years in 2016, 214 (17%) involved an alcohol-impaired driver.
- In 2016, more than 1 million drivers were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. That’s one percent of the 111 million self-reported episodes of alcohol-impaired driving among U.S. adults each year (figure below).
- The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $44 billion according to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.
What safety steps can individuals take?
Make plans so that you don’t have to drive while impaired by alcohol and/or drugs and do it before you start consuming either. For example:
- Before drinking, designate a non-drinking driver within your group.
- Do not ever let your friends drive while impaired even slightly.
- If you have been drinking alcohol and/or using drugs, get a ride home, use a ride share service, or call a taxi or Lyft or Uber.
- If you’re hosting a party where alcohol will be served, remind your guests to plan ahead and designate a driver that will not be drinking or using drugs. Make sure you have plenty of alcohol-free beverages, and make sure all guests leave with a sober driver.

Drinking alcohol increases your risk for liver problems. If you think you or someone you know might have a problem with alcohol, take the alcohol abuse quiz.
Can alcohol erectile dysfunction be reversed?
Erectile dysfunction is one of the adverse effects of excessive alcohol consumption. Your manhood needs to fill with blood to get and maintain an erection. Unfortunately, drinking large amounts of alcohol can interfere with the brain’s messengers responsible for telling the penis to fill with blood.
You can also experience erectile dysfunction (Our German readers should have a look at the marked articles in the table: Potenzmittel) when excessive amounts of alcohol in the bloodstream reduce testosterone production. Thankfully, if you detox, the body can recover to normal sexual function.
If the adverse symptoms of alcohol-related impairment to sexual performance persist, you can start with getting into diets. The keto diet (Ketogene Diät) is great for cleansing your system. The keto diet and fat burners (Fatburner) are a full regimen for getting your healthy body back. Most popular keto products are Keto Gummies.
A testosterone booster (Testo Booster) is another crucial way to reverse alcohol-induced sexual dysfunction. The supplements (Supplements) will trigger the body to produce more testosterone hormones, leading to improved sexual performance. For recovering athletes, hitting the gym with legal steroids and SARMS would get you back on your levels of workout endurance and sexual performance.
Alternatively, you can use a penis pump (Penispumpe) or natural ED pills like MaasaLong to improve your sexual performance while the body recovers from alcohol-induced erectile failure. A penis pump induces the penis to fill with blood, just like it would due to a natural erection.
You can then use a penis ring to keep the blood from leaving the spongy erectile tissue, prolonging the induced erection.
