Too Drunk to Drive? Pa. Website Offers Online Blood Alcohol Calculator

It’s Memorial Day weekend, which means honoring veterans and enjoying parades and barbeques. It also means you can expect DUI checkpoints along the way.

Pennsylvania State Police say they will be holding DUI checkpoints throughout the state.

One way to be sure to avoid a DUI arrest is to have a sober driver. But if you’re headed out and wonder how much is too much, the PA DUI Association Website has this Blood Alcohol Calculator.

The calculator tells you the number of drinks that it would take a person to become impaired with a BAC of .08, the legal limit in Pennsylvania.

Fill in the number and type of drinks consumed over a time period, as well as your gender and weight. One caveat: the website warns “it is only an estimate and that a person’s actual BAC can be dependent on numerous other factors.”
