The calculator is extremely easy to use. Simply enter your gender and weight, followed by the number of drinks you plan on having, what type of alcohol and over what period of time you plan on consuming these beverages. Your blood alcohol concentration is then calculated. The results of the test may prove eye-opening for some motorists who consider it acceptable to drive after having a few drinks, as the tool may help some people realize that the amount of alcohol they are consuming renders them legally impaired.
