Is there a rule of thumb? Not when it comes to calculating blood alcohol levels!
Putting into practice a rough rule of thumb is somewhat risky. And blood alcohol calculators on the Internet or apps are only as accurate as the data entered. People who want to act in a responsible manner when driving need accurate readings. An alcohol breath test is easier, faster and more accurate than a ‘theoretical’ calculation. More about the various measuring methods can be found in the Dräger Review Special, ‘Drugs and Alcohol’.

Please note
