Breathalyzer

Log each drink with a time, a volume and an alcohol content, then choose a readout hour. Ethanol is added at the drink’s clock time and then falls at 0.15‰ per hour (Widmark: grams ÷ (kg × r); r = 0.68 for men, 0.55 for women). Absorption is treated as immediate — it is not. A drink after the readout hour is left out. Compare the estimate with a standard-driver limit. This is not a measurement. Do not use it to decide whether to drive.

Food, illness, the drink itself and how quickly you drank all change the real figure. A roadside breath test is an instrument. This page is only arithmetic.
