Blood Alcohol Content
Your blood alcohol content (or BAC) measures the number of grams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. A BAC of 0.05 means that you have 0.05 grams (50mg) of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. The formulas below estimate your BAC.
BAC = blood alcohol content N = number of standard drinks consumed H = hours spent drinking M = mass of person (in kilograms)

\(\text{BAC}_{\text{male}}=\dfrac{(10n-7.5h)}{6.8M}\)
\(\text{BAC}_{\text{female}}=\dfrac{(10n-7.5h)}{5.5M}\)
