At high consumptions over long time, combustion may increase up to 0.030 Calculation Men: Alcohol consumption in grams / (body weight in kilograms x 70% x 10) - (0.015 x hours from start drinking) = BAC Calculation Women: Alcohol consumption in grams / (body weight in kilograms x 60% x 10) - (0.015 x hours from start drinking) = BAC Alcohol has a density 0.78. This means that ex. 10 milliliters of alcohol = 7.8 grams of alcohol. Sources: Folkehelseinnstituttet Promille.no Ung.no Varden |
