Body Weight and Alcohol Consumption Calculator

Introduction

Alcohol consumption can have significant health implications, and the safe amount varies based on individual factors including body weight, gender, and metabolism. This calculator provides a simple way to estimate safe alcohol limits based on your weight.

Alcohol is metabolized differently by each person, but general guidelines suggest that the standard drink is 14 grams of pure alcohol (about 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits). The body processes alcohol at a rate of about 0.015 grams per kilogram of body weight per hour.
