Blood alcohol content is measurement of the level of alcohol in blood. There are different figures set by government of different countries. In United States and Canada the figure is 0.08.
The meaning of this figure is that you will be legally considered as intoxicated if the percentage of alcohol in the blood is less than one tenth of one percent of your blood that is concentrated with alcohol. You cannot measure the blood alcohol content without a breathalyzer.
Blood alcohol content is varied by many different things. The most important is what type of alcohol you are taking, what is your tolerance power, what you have eaten before, at the time of drinking and after drinking, your gender, what is the percentage of body fat and many other different things. Due to these things your blood alcohol content varies. If you are sick even then your blood alcohol content changes.
Also if you take alcohol regularly and suppose last night you drank five beers and check your blood alcohol content. Suppose it is .10. And again today you drink five beers and again check the blood alcohol content. The possibility is that this time the figure may be more or less than .10. So there are different factors that change the measurement. Also if you are hungry, thirsty, tired or have taken less of different alcohol than last night then your blood alcohol content may vary.
There is no way from which you can get the level of your alcohol in the blood. There is no mathematical calculation or no way on internet from which you can calculate the blood alcohol content. This is because of change in many different things in body.
There are many different myths about blood alcohol content. Different myths are there for reducing the level of alcohol in blood like drinking a lot of coffee, doing a lot of physical exercise, bathing under cold water, eating a lot of pickles, drinking a lot of lemon juice, etc. But all this is waste as these things cannot reduce the instant level of alcohol in the blood. Level of alcohol in the blood can only be reduced by passing time. It can take one to four days or more to clear out the level of alcohol in the blood. There is no other way.
To get the level of alcohol in the blood accurately all you have to do is give a sample of blood for testing and after checking the exact alcohol content in the blood can be determined. It is 100% accurate.
The safest thing to do is do not ever drive after drinking. If it is so urgent then you can take the help of someone who is not drunk.
