About this calculator

This calculator estimates how long it takes for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to return to zero, based on the average elimination rate of roughly 0.015% per hour that the liver metabolizes alcohol (the Widmark-based rule of thumb used in alcohol education). Enter your current or estimated BAC to see the approximate hours until you're sober.

It's used by students and drinkers who want a rough safety check before deciding whether to drive, and by bartenders, event staff, and health educators explaining how alcohol clears the body. The elimination rate varies by person, so the result is an estimate, not a guarantee of legal sobriety.
