Use Wolfram Alpha to Estimate Your Blood Alcohol Level
September 1st, 2011
Wolfram Alpha has all kinds of useful information for everything under the sun, you can even use it to estimate your blood alcohol level after you’ve put away a few drinks. This will only be an estimate, it ignores variations in metabolism, food intake, medication, etc.
1. Go to Wolfram Alpha.
2. In the search box, input the following:
BAC 7 drinks, 3 hours, male, 200lb
change the number of drinks, the period of time you spent drinking, and your weight.
3. Click the = button or hit ENTER on your keyboard.
4. The results will be displayed.
You can also get an estimate of how long it will take you to get back to the legal limit if you have had too many drinks.
1. Go to Wolfram Alpha.
2. Input the following into the search box:
Am I too drunk to drive?
3. Select the = button or hit ENTER on you keyboard.
4. A new form will be displayed. Input your information into the form (number of drinks, time, body weight, and gender).
5. Wolfram Alpha will give you an estimate of how long it will take you to get down to a 0.08 blood alcohol level (again, this is only an estimate).
