The level of alcohol in a person's blood. Why alcohol calculator is useful

There are times when there are times when a drunk person needs to drive while intoxicated, but how to calculate the dose of drink at which you can afford this without violating the rules.

In this case, there is a device that determines the concentration of alcohol in the blood. This is an alcohol calculator, it allows you to correctly calculate the dose of alcohol taken in ppm.

But, even if you have such a tester, you need to remember that even the most innocent portion of alcohol can turn into big trouble for you, which are provided by the Code of Administrative Offenses. What kind of device is this, and how does it work, let's take a closer look?

What is ppm?

Per mille is a unit of measure for alcohol in a person's blood. Not everyone understands what 1 ppm carries, how much alcohol-containing liquid drunk falls on it. This unit of measurement shows the exact amount of impurities in the liquid.

If for measuring any substances we take a unit, a tenth, a hundredth and other parts of a unit, then one thousandth of a whole is considered to be taken as 1 ppm. Without knowing the full calculation, ppm can be confused with a percentage, but this is not so.

The first is a tenth of 1 percent and is used in laboratory studies to more accurately determine ethanol in human blood.

How online calculators work

Each alcohol calculator has several parameters, when entered, it is possible to determine the concentration of alcohol in the blood with an accuracy of 99%.

These options include:

1. the gender of the person;
2. age data;
3. growth;
4. type of drink;
5. the percentage of alcohol in the drink;
6. the amount of drink you drink.

In addition to the basic data, the fullness of the stomach is entered into the alcohol calculator, that is, whether a snack was present, or the drink was carried out on an empty stomach.

All these parameters are taken into account in a special way when determining the concentration of alcohol in the blood. There is one caveat: the online calculator does not calculate ppm for a person weighing less than 40 kg.

At the end of the calculation, the device will display how much alcohol is in your blood, and will also show the rate of alcohol removal from your blood.

Calculation formulas

The amount of ppm alcohol in the blood is easy to calculate, there is a certain algorithm for this. The correctness of the result depends on the entered parameters.

The calculation formula is as follows:

• The amount of alcoholic product consumed is multiplied by the percentage of alcohol content in it;
• The resulting milliliters are converted to grams, for this you need to know the density of alcohol. The density is multiplied by the results obtained;
• The amount of pure alcohol is divided by the total mass of the liquid and we get the amount ppm.

Here you need to know that the weight of the human body and the total mass of all fluid in the body do not match. For the male body, 70% is taken, for the female - 60% of the weight.

Permissible levels of alcohol in the blood for drivers

Due to the increased incidence of accidents on Russian highways, every year the government adjusts the data on the permissible norms for the permitted amount of alcohol consumed while driving.

In the past, the allowable norms were zero. Today, the situation is different, as the food market is saturated with food products, which also contain alcohol. At present, the permissible norms of alcohol in Russia are: the content in the air during exhalation is 0.16, in the blood - 0.35 units per mille.

Things are different in other countries:

In addition, in some countries even passengers are prohibited from being intoxicated, for which huge fines are imposed.

Forms of intoxication

The amount of alcohol in the blood of course is different, it depends on the degree of fun, this is by the way.

But still, there are several stages of intoxication:

Light

With a slight intoxication, and this is considered 0.2-0.5 ppm of alcohol in the blood, the illumination of the vehicle moving towards the meeting is not perceived.

In addition, a drunk person does not control the situation well, the distance between the participants of the ride on the road is not observed. The drinker has a feeling of euphoria, he wants speed.

Medium

This should include 0.5-0.8 ppm. On the road, a drunk person loses control over himself, does not hear or see signals from outside drivers. Often such accidents end in accidents.

strong

Promille in alcohol increases to 1.2 units. With such intoxication, a person loses his balance, he is completely relaxed.

Third-party traffic on the roads is simply not noticed. Such a person is a real threat to others and to himself.

deadly

The number of ppm up to 2.5 units. Here, a person not only cannot drive a car, but also cannot control his own legs.

His brain is completely disconnected from reality, he does not see beyond his nose in front of him.

Therefore, the first meter of driving a car can lead to very deplorable situations.

Conclusion

An online blood alcohol concentration calculator is a great help for many people.

If even with a small dose of drunk alcohol, it seems to you that this is the norm, then after receiving the results from the tester, you will be confident in yourself and determine your degree of intoxication and even find out how long the alcohol will leave the body in order to make safe movement on your vehicle without harm to yourself or others.

Calculation of the amount of alcohol in a person's blood

Your weight, kg. Alcohol consumption, ml.
Drink strength, %
Drunk for a period, hour.

Number of ppm in the body: ‰
Removal of alcohol from the body through: hour.

What does the Widmark formula mean?

They began to calculate ppm with the filing of the Swedish chemist Vidmark. He developed a formula by which the percentage of alcohol in the blood (K) is determined.

To calculate, you need the amount of pure alcohol (that is, absolute alcohol, which also needs to be calculated in advance) in grams (A) divided by body weight in kg (M), multiplied by the Widmark coefficient (K) (for women 0.6%, for men – 0.7%).

K \u003d A / (M x K)

Reference. male body consists of water by 70%, female - by 60%. Hence the coefficient.

Therefore, with the same amount of the same drunk alcoholic beverage, both intoxication and the presence of ppm alcohol in the exhaled air will be different. Women get drunk faster and sober up longer for this very reason: the concentration of alcohol in the body (in terms of liquid) is higher than that of men.

Attention. In modern calculations, sometimes in the amendment to the Widmark formula, in addition to weight, height is also taken into account.

In fact, growth does not affect the number of ppm. It is important body weight.

Instruction - how to calculate the alcohol content?

To find out how much ppm you have in your blood at the moment and how long alcohol will be excreted, fill out our short online form and instantly get the result:

1. Mark your gender by clicking on the appropriate button. As already mentioned, this is an important indicator that affects both the degree of intoxication and the speed of removing alcohol from the body.
2. Enter your weight in kilograms in the box.
3. Enter the amount of drink consumed in ml.
4. Indicate the strength of the alcohol you have drunk.
5. And the final point of calculation: how long ago did you drink alcohol. Indications in hours, indicate the time without tenths: 1, 2, 3, etc.
6. Press the button: "Calculate".

Get an instant response:

• What is the percentage ppm in your body.
• How long does it take to eliminate alcohol.

Important. Taking into account the indicators for calculating the amount of alcohol in the blood, do not drive a car earlier than the time indicated by the calculator has passed.

What is ppm?

A ppm is 1/10 of one percent of anything. In relation to alcohol, 1 ppm means that 1/10 of 1% of the total fluid in the body is pure alcohol (conditional strength of 100%).

In other words, in 1 liter of body fluid, the content of pure ethylene is 1 g. All over the world, traffic safety services have adopted precisely this system for measuring the degree of intoxication of a person.

But there is no norm of 0.0 percent anywhere. The fact is that some familiar foods, medicines, and even the state of the body affect the readings of the breathalyzer.

Products that increase the number of ppm

Not only the alcohol taken can show a positive reaction on the breathalyzer, but even the state of the body, some medications and consumed foods. Here's what raises the ppm count:

• diabetes mellitus and gastrointestinal diseases can “give out” up to 0.1 ppm;
• taken 40 drops of medicinal (such as tricardine, barboval, etc.) - 0.1;
• 8 chocolates(without alcohol) or 1 menthol, including cough drops - 0.1;
• a dozen sweets with rum or alcoholized berries - up to 1.5;
• non-alcoholic beer (0.33 l) - 0.1-0.2 ppm;
• products involving alcohol or sour-milk fermentation (kvass, kefir, koumiss, etc.) - 0.1-0.3;
• 1 overripe banana “gives out” up to 0.22 ppm;
• juices - up to 0.4;
• orange - 0.17 (which is already more than the permissible norm);
• sandwich - black bread and sausage - 0.2;
• freshly smoked cigarette – 0.2;
• refreshing mouth spray can add 0.4 ppm at once. And if you still used it to mask the smell of alcohol, then you can say goodbye to the rights.

The degree of intoxication of a person

With a slight drinking of alcoholic beverages, a person feels “normal” and it even often gets away with it. But, God forbid, to get into an accident, checks cannot be avoided.

And if the tester (and then the blood test in a medical institution) shows an excess of the norm per mille, you will have to answer "to the fullest extent."

Why know?

If you have a mild degree of intoxication, in which behavioral reactions are not disturbed, and besides, you “do not smell” of alcohol, then the inspector may not have the prerequisites for offering to pass a breathalyzer test.

Not everyone indiscriminately shoves it. But if you have obvious behavioral abnormalities (incoherent speech, staggering gait), then it is unlikely that the inspector will not offer you to take an alcohol test.

Determination of the degree of intoxication

According to the medical classification, there are five degrees of intoxication:

1. Light- in the blood from 0.5 to 1.5 ppm. The person feels sober, but in high spirits. Courage, talkativeness, a tendency to deep philosophizing appear.
2. Average degree(up to 2.5 ppm). It is noticeable to the naked eye that the person drank. Speech becomes slurred, legs tangle. Some euphoria is replaced by irritability and a desire to "sort things out." After sobering up, sometimes it is not possible to reproduce a series of events (memory lapses).
3. strong- up to 3 ppm. Complete "insanity". A person does not hear when they turn to him, does not understand what they want from him. Cannot move independently. Sometimes he loses consciousness, can wet himself.
4. Alcohol poisoning- up to 5 ppm. Falling into a "complete stupor", sometimes accompanied by severe vomiting. If no one is around, it can choke. Sometimes poisoning ends in death.
5. Lethal dose- above 5 ppm. There is a tremor, arrhythmia, a peculiar reaction of the eyes (frequent blinking and twitching). A person who takes a lethal dose can go blind. In addition, in this state, a person can be saved only thanks to qualified medical care.

If you want to preserve the health and life of yourself and those around you, never bring yourself to extreme intoxication. And in any case - do not drive until you are completely sober.

How does the body get rid of alcohol?

So that it doesn’t happen, like in that joke where the traffic inspector stops the driver for speeding, and he justifies himself by saying: “Yes, I drank a bottle of vodka, I’m in a hurry to go home until I get lucky,” remember - the maximum readings per mille achieved in 0.5 - 2 hours after drinking.

The withdrawal time depends on the strength and amount of alcohol taken. And also from the "thoroughness" of biting. Having reached the maximum indicator of intoxication, the body begins to slowly release itself from ethanol. It happens like this:

• alcohol enters the bloodstream mainly from the stomach and intestines;
• With blood, ethanol enters the liver, which breaks it down first into acetaldehyde, then into acid. At the final stage acetic acid turns into water, carbon dioxide and energy;

Up to 90% of alcohol is broken down in the liver. The more you drink, the longer this process takes.

• 10% of ethanol leaves the body through the kidneys (with urine), through the lungs - with exhaled air and through sweat.

Scientists have derived an average indicator of how quickly ethanol can leave the body. This is 0.1 g for every kilogram of weight, or 1 g for every 10 kg per hour.

But it changes both under the influence of the organism itself, and due to external influences.

See the average withdrawal time for certain types of alcohol. It takes into account the amount drunk, its strength and body weight.

How to speed up the excretion of ethanol?

There are several methods that help to quickly bring yourself back to normal and remove alcohol from the body. Watch and remember:

1. If you've been drinking relatively recently and feel like you're floating, the best methods are:

• drink water - as much as you can, but not less than 1 liter and induce vomiting. It is better to cleanse the stomach 2-3 times;
• in addition to vomiting, give an enema. If not much time has passed after the libation, with this technique you will get rid of the lion's share of ethanol.

1. If health permits - go to the sauna(it affects the body softer than a steam bath). Three visits of 5 minutes is enough.

Carefully. A large dose of alcohol and a sauna is a dangerous combination. There are cases when, after libations, an ambulance took a drinker from a sauna directly to intensive care with a heart attack or stroke.

1. Drink more clean water, and better - sweet herbal tea with a diuretic effect.
2. An excellent detoxifier Orange juice or even water with (a glass of water - a spoonful of vinegar).
3. Get a good night's sleep by opening the window. This will help the body recover faster.

How to understand that you have already sobered up?

Consider the possible error of the calculator in determining the time complete elimination ethanol from the body. This is influenced by a number of factors: state of the body, disease, use on an empty stomach etc.

Therefore, even if the allotted time has already passed and you can sort of go on a journey by car, check for yourself the degree of your sobriety. The fact that you are completely sober is evidenced by a combination of three factors. You can:

• Loosely touch your finger to the tip of your nose with your eyes closed.
• Walk in a straight line without stumbling.
• Stand for 30 seconds on one leg.

Permissible alcohol limit while driving

The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (Article 12.8) states exactly: 0.16 mg per liter of exhaled air. That is, 0.16 ppm. What corresponds 0.35 ppm in blood. This norm has been in force since 2013, and before that it was 0 ppm. But since there was a lot of confusion for the above reasons, an amendment was made to the Code on Admin. offenses.

Carefully. In some sources, there is a norm - 0.3 or 0.35 ppm.

This is the blood alcohol content. It is installed in a medical institution during examination, after taking blood. The standard of 0.16 applies to the exhaled air!

When is it safe to drive?

To the time calculated on the calculator add another half an hour - an hour to be sure. If you have used methods for the fastest removal of alcohol from the body, tested yourself for sobriety and really need to go, withstand at least the minimum time the body needs to remove ethanol.

Advice. Not having full confidence in your own sobriety, use the Anti-Policeman from the pharmacy.

Devices that determine the presence of alcohol in the blood

A useful acquisition for a motorist and a professional driver will be breathalyzer. The price of such a device is from 300 rubles (in the form of a keychain with a flashlight) to 5 thousand rubles. The more expensive the device, the more accurate. And you have a greater guarantee of a successful alcohol test in the event of a traffic police stop.

Reference. Traffic inspectors are "staffed" with breathalyzers of average cost: 1.5 - 3 thousand rubles.

Useful purchase and much cheaper - test strips to determine alcohol in saliva (urine). Are called alco-screen. The cost of one is from 21 rubles, in a package there are from 5 to 20 pieces.

So, what can you do to avoid getting caught drunk driving? Don't get behind the wheel until you're completely sober, both on the surface and according to our calculator.

Alcohol has long been a part of human life. It is difficult to imagine solemn feasts without fine cognacs and fragrant wines. But this, as they say, is only one side of the coin. Often, festive chic ends, if not in tragedy, then in trouble with police inspectors. And all because many drivers allow themselves to drink too much and arrogantly drive. It is a big mistake to assume that an hour and a half is enough to take a nap to weather the alcohol from the body. 100 grams of cognac from a human body weighing 70 kg is completely excreted after 4-5 hours, and before that time, the blood contains approximately 0.55 ppm of pure alcohol.

What does ppm say

The content, or concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream in the international system is designated as BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) and is measured in ppm. Ppm (‰) indicates the concentration of ethanol in milliliters per 1 liter of blood. In other words, this is the ratio of the volume of alcohol and blood in the body. For example, the result "0.4 ppm" indicates that 1 liter of blood contains 0.4 ml of pure alcohol.

But bare numbers mean nothing to most people. Drivers are the exception. They certainly know for sure that 0.4 ppm in the blood is already a problem with the police. According to the rules of 2016, the driver's blood cannot exceed 0.35 ‰ of ethanol, and the concentration of alcohol in the exhaled air must not exceed 0.16 ‰. By the way, the ppm rate is affected not only by alcohol, but also by some products. For example, non-alcoholic beer, kefir, kvass, curdled milk, yogurt, sandwiches from rye bread, overripe bananas and even cigarettes, although they will not affect the level of sobriety, they can noticeably affect blood alcohol levels (especially against the background of the already adopted small portion alcohol).

Why know the degree of intoxication

A few years ago, the ability to take a breathalyzer online for drivers seemed like a pipe dream. Today, a virtual blood alcohol meter can show a fairly accurate result. And knowing the degree of alcohol intoxication, it is easy to calculate the time required for the complete withdrawal of alcohol from the body. Undoubtedly, this information is primarily important for drivers. But in the modern world, when alcohol is one of the most consumed products, many would like to determine how much alcohol the body can take without compromising health and when the drunk alcohol will completely disappear. And this will help the breathalyzer - a unique analyzer of the level of intoxication.

What is the Widmark formula

Most online breathalyzers are based on a formula developed by Swedish researcher Erik Widmark. By the way, it is this formula that forensicists use today and it is from it that the police and paramedics calculate the level of intoxication of the driver.

To determine the concentration of alcohol in the blood according to the formula of a Swedish scientist, it is necessary to divide the mass of the drink drunk (in grams) by body weight (in kilograms) multiplied by 0.6 for girls and women and 0.7 for the stronger sex. The result obtained indicates the dose of alcohol in the blood (in ppm).

How drunkenness affects the body

From 0.2 to 0.29‰

A person still behaves adequately, but measurement with the help of special laboratory devices will already show changes in the blood formula.

From 0.3 to 0.59‰

The person becomes more joyful, relaxed, talkative and less restrained. The first violations of concentration are noticeable.

From 0.6 to 0.9‰

Sensations are dulled, the eyes react poorly to light, peripheral vision deteriorates, and the adequacy of perception of what is happening around is disturbed.

From 1 to 1.9‰

The person becomes more emotional, unrestrained, easily falls into anger. At the level of physiology, reflexes, motor skills (a staggering gait appears), the ability to clearly express thoughts, libido and erection worsen.

From 2 to 2.9‰

In this state, it is easy to fall into a stupor, sensations are sharply reduced, and the risk of loss of consciousness and memory increases.

From 3 to 3.9‰

Loss of control over urination, there is a strong tachycardia, an almost complete loss of control over the body.

From 4 to 5‰ and above

strong alcohol poisoning. Signs, as with the degree of intoxication of 3.9‰, but more pronounced. The danger of death is very high.

How to use the calculator

Alcohol calculator is a service with which you can calculate the amount of alcohol in the bloodstream, taking into account portions and the strength of the drunk alcohol. In other words, this is a program for online determination of the degree of intoxication.

But we note right away that a professional blood alcohol calculator is not designed to determine how much alcohol a driver can afford to drink before driving. Even the smallest amount of alcohol is already a reason to use the services of taxi drivers or familiar drivers. A virtual breathalyzer will help to make an approximate calculation of how long after a feast it is safe for the driver to drive again.

The calculator calculates the percentage of BAC, taking into account individual factors:

• body weight;
• fullness of the stomach;
• the amount of alcohol consumed;
• the strength of the consumed drinks.

In addition, the virtual breathalyzer takes into account what alcoholic drinks and how much they drank during the feast.

After filling out the form in a split second, the program will calculate the degree of probable intoxication. The breathalyzer will tell you how much per mille of alcohol is contained in the blood and in the exhaled air, and also calculate the approximate time required for the removal of alcohol from the body.

This calculator can also be useful when planning a large feast. With the help of a simple program, it is easy to calculate how much alcohol "for good humor" on average will be needed for one guest. And with this information, it is easy to create a menu and calculate the amount of drinking for the celebration.

Statistics show that almost a third of road accidents are the fault of drunk drivers. Remember that a drunk driver is a danger not only to himself, but also to passengers and pedestrians. Use the calculator to determine how many hours after the feast you can sit down at the "steering wheel". And let nothing overshadow your holidays: neither headache No fines, no accidents.

The introduction of the maximum amount of alcohol in the blood while driving is one of the main means of regulating road safety by the state.

The unit of measure for alcohol intoxication is ppm.- the ratio of a gram of alcohol per liter of blood.

The maximum ppm threshold while driving differs in different countries. For example, in Canada, ppm is 0.8, which allows you to drink a glass of beer before the trip..

What is the legal limit for alcohol while driving in Russia? And what happens if it is violated? Let's figure it out.

Permissible level of alcohol while driving in ppm

For three years, from 2010 to 2013, allowable rate amounted to "zero" ppm, which completely excluded the possibility of a dispute with traffic police inspectors. However, this rule had many shortcomings. Eating many foods shifts the blood alcohol level above zero - chocolate and bakery products, kefir and kvass, juices, yogurts and too ripe bananas. Not to mention non-alcoholic beer or many medicines.

In 2013, the effect of "zero" ppm was canceled. Now driving a car is allowed if the breathalyzer showed when exhaling no more than 0.16 mg per liter of air. This is the new measurable threshold of intoxication. But ppm is a value that calculates the alcohol content in the blood, and not in the air.

0.1 ppm, contrary to popular belief, is not equal to 1 mg / l. To calculate it, a formula is used in which there are exactly 0.045 mg / l of alcohol in 0.1 ppm. After calculations, we find that the allowable maximum ppm in the current year is approximately 0.35.

The new norm minimized the measurement error of the breathalyzer. How to determine the approximate content of ppm in the blood after drinking alcoholic beverages?

Determination of blood alcohol content

• the number of degrees in the consumed alcohol and the dose drunk;
• weight and gender of the person;
• condition of internal organs and genetic predisposition;
• availability of snacks, their quality and quantity;
• the general condition of the person.

It is not difficult to exceed the permissible norm of alcohol while driving. 1 ppm is already a serious intoxication, which is achieved after drinking a whole bottle of 0.5 liter vodka by a strong man weighing 70-75 kg. The maximum allowable rate is 5 or 6 ppm units. This is already a lethal dose.

100 grams of vodka in theory give 0.55 ppm, and a bottle of beer with a capacity of 0.5 liters - 0.32. In practice, when checking on a breathalyzer, there may be a completely different result. The device can overestimate ppm (for example, with alcohol vapor in the lungs after sobering up) or reduce it. To avoid this ambiguity in the definition of intoxication, the critical value ppm and has been increased to 0.35.

It is difficult to calculate the content per mille in the body on your own. For this, there are ready-made tables in which a drunk glass of vodka with a capacity of 100 grams is taken as one dose. The results are also quite arbitrary, but sometimes they can be useful.

We offer 2 tables with ready-made calculations - separately for men and women.

How long is alcohol determined by exhalation?

To determine the time during which it is better not to get caught by traffic police inspectors after drinking alcohol, it is necessary to take into account many factors, including the rate of absorption of alcohol, the time of its removal from the body and body weight. The highest blood alcohol content is reached 30 minutes to 2 hours after consumption, depending on the type of drink and the availability of a quality snack.

Many drivers are interested in knowing how long it takes alcohol to completely disappear from the body. General rule here it is - it is absolutely impossible to drink alcohol before an imminent planned trip. If there is still a whole day left before driving the car, you can drink freely. The rules are not ironclad, but quite effective.

We propose to consider a table that shows how long various alcoholic beverages are excreted from the human body. It should only be borne in mind that these data are seriously affected by a person's weight, gender and state of health.

In general, for a healthy male weighing 80 kg, the weathering time for alcohol will be as follows:

• a bottle of beer 0.5 - 2 hours (3 hours when drinking strong beer);
• 200 g of wine - from 2 hours;
• 100 g of vodka - you have to wait 3.5 hours, 300 g - 11 hours;
• A whole bottle of strong alcohol (40-45 degrees) - 17 hours.

The alcohol withdrawal time for people with a different weight is easily calculated using a proportion. But do not forget that the error of devices for checking the state of intoxication is from 0.1 to 0.16 ppm. For reinsurance, it is better to add at least an hour to the given data.

Punishment for exceeding the permissible ppm in the body

In 2019, the punishment for drunk driving is quite severe:

• for the first driving while intoxicated - a fine of up to 30 thousand rubles and one and a half to two years;
• repeated violation of the law - the fine increases to 50 thousand plus deprivation of rights for 3 years;
• if there is a fine for drunk driving, driving a car will entail an administrative arrest for a period of 10 to 15 days;
• if the car owner does not want to be tested for the fact of intoxication, the punishment is not removed from him (it is the same as for the first violation).

The State Duma is constantly talking about tougher penalties for drunk driving. It is possible that in the future the amount of fines will increase significantly. By the way, the transfer of the right to drive a vehicle to a drunk person is punished in the same way as self-driving while drunk.

Tips for avoiding problems with traffic inspectors

In addition to the fact that drinking alcohol and driving a car should be as far apart as possible, less obvious rules should be followed:

• Do not take medicines before the trip, especially those containing ethyl alcohol;
• The use of kvass fermented milk products and juices, although very rare, can still increase the amount of alcohol in the body. Especially when it comes to natural homemade products, and not bought in a store;
• Most likely it will not work to deceive the breathalyzer, this can only lead to an invitation to take an alcohol test in a specialized medical institution;
• Don't try to hide alcohol with mouthwashes or chewing gum;
• In any case, you should not conflict with the traffic police inspector and speak rudeness to him.

How to increase the rate of alcohol withdrawal from the body? A good solution would be a contrast shower, a deep and long sleep, hot baths. The right one works well on the withdrawal of alcohol, healthy food and long walks in the fresh, clean air. Recall that when exhaling air, no more than 0.35 ppm is permissible.

The Virtual Alcohol Body Test is a test program that will show the ethanol content in the blood. An online breathalyzer for determining sobriety is especially relevant for drivers. This service helps to reduce the number of accidents and fines on the roads. The program for checking the amount of alcohol consumed shows its content in ppm. Alcohol calculator for driver 2018 is free and available to everyone.

How to use an alcohol calculator?

The alcohol withdrawal calculator for motorists calculates alcohol in the blood and the approximate timing of its withdrawal. But the system does not calculate the interval until the ethanol is completely released, but until the amount of alcohol drops to the allowed rate. For this, a mathematical algorithm is used that takes into account the maximum allowable amount of ethanol and the average rate of its splitting per hour. Considering the individual indicators that the user enters, the accuracy of the result is very high.

Used to determine the amount of alcohol Widmark formula. The calculations underlying this system are used in forensics. To get the result, a fast and accurate alcohol calculator takes into account:

• driver weight;
• the amount of alcohol;
• degrees of drinks.

Even the variety of alcohol is taken into account. Checking with the help of an alcohol counter consists in the fact that a person enters data into a form, after which the system shows the result: the user sees the degree of intoxication and the time for the normalization of the alcohol level. The stage of intoxication is displayed in ppm (‰) - this is an indicator by which the content of alcohol in the blood is determined.

How long does it take for alcohol to leave the body?

The time of disintegration of alcohol in the blood and its complete elimination from the body depends on many factors. The rate of elimination of alcohol from the body is affected by the weight of a person, his gender, strength and volume of alcohol consumed, physiological characteristics. Vodka, wine, champagne and beer come out after drinking faster if a person was full and drank measuredly. There are other ways to get rid of alcohol faster: drink more water and sweet tea, to accept Activated carbon or other sorbents.

Alcohol stays in the blood for a long time: it completely disappears from the human body in 24-48 hours. But after drinking alcohol, you can drive when the ethanol level drops to acceptable level. You can see the approximate period of disintegration of alcoholic beverages in the table of alcohol release times for drivers

An online calculator will help you understand the degree of intoxication without using a breathalyzer. The program collects all the necessary data to issue accurate indicators. But if you artificially speed up the process of alcohol withdrawal and sobering up time, the calculator will not be able to take this into account.

Permissible blood alcohol level while driving

At any given time, there is a small amount of ethanol in human blood. This is taken into account when compiling the maximum allowable amount of alcohol in the blood for drivers. Each country has its own minimum, but they are all about the same:

• the degree of alcohol intoxication in ppm among drivers in Russia is 0.32 ‰;
• in Ukraine, the maximum allowable amount of alcohol in the blood is 0.2 ‰;
• the permitted amount of alcohol in the blood of men and women in Belarus is 0.3 ‰.

The minimum safe dose is the level of alcohol, which does not affect the concentration and condition of the driver. Deviation from the norm established by law is punishable by administrative procedure. In addition, it is dangerous for the life of the person himself and those around him.

Breathalyzer readings, which are used by traffic police officers, are calculated on the basis of a chemical analysis of exhaled air. The test result shows the ratio of alcohol consumed and ppm. On the online calculator, you can get less accurate data, but for free and without the use of special equipment.

Stages of intoxication of the body

The degree of intoxication is the concentration (level) of alcohol in the blood. Regardless of the amount drunk and the person's well-being, any stage of intoxication is called intoxication. The effect of ethanol and its decay leads to mental and cognitive changes. The harder the stage, the more dangerous such a driver is on the road. The punishment for such a violation also depends on the state of the "gotcha".

Phases of intoxication depending on the content of alcohol in the blood:

• up to 0.5 ‰ - low alcohol content;
• up to 1.5 ‰ - mild degree;
• up to 2.5 ‰ - the average degree of alcohol intoxication;
• 3.0-5.0 ‰ - heavy phase;
• more than 5.0 ppm is a lethal dose of alcohol.

At the time of the feast, alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream almost instantly, but it is excreted for a very long time. The fact that 0.2 - 0.3 ‰ is allowed for the driver does not mean that you can drink while driving. Even small doses can impair reaction time and concentration. In addition, it is very easy not to calculate with the norm. To avoid problems on the roads when alcohol is already drunk, use the alcohol calculator. However, these calculations are approximate and cannot be taken as a guarantee for your safety or the safety of other road users.

Order a personal breathalyzer

For the most accurate results, we recommend purchasing personal breathalyzer. Using such a device will help you understand when you can drive without risk to yourself and others.

Noalco is:

• accurate data based on the chemical analysis of exhaled air;
• quick result - the breathalyzer will show the degree of intoxication after 5 seconds;
• insurance for any driver who gets behind the wheel after a festive feast.
