NeonBAC

Forensic Blood Alcohol Concentration Simulator

How to use the BAC Scanner

Wondering "Am I safe to drive?" or "How long until I'm sober?" This simulator uses the forensic Widmark Formula to track your alcohol metabolism across your entire session.

01
YOUR INFO

Enter your Weight and Gender. This helps the engine calculate how alcohol spreads through your body.

02
TIME PERIOD

Pick your Start Time (first drink) and Analysis Point (the time you want to check).

03
ADD DRINKS

Log your drinks in the Consumption Log. The tool turns your drinks into "ethanol mass" to see how drunk you are.

04
SEE RESULTS

Check your Sobriety Timeline to see exactly when your body will be back to 0.000%.

⚠️ System Protocol: Critical Safety Notice ⚠️

NeonBAC simulations are mathematical estimates based on forensic averages (The Widmark Formula). Individual metabolism varies based on hydration, food intake, and biological health. These results are for educational and research purposes only.

NEVER USE THIS TOOL TO DETERMINE YOUR LEGAL ABILITY TO DRIVE. IF YOU HAVE CONSUMED ALCOHOL, DO NOT OPERATE A VEHICLE OR HEAVY MACHINERY.

Forensic Definition: Blood Alcohol Concentration

Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is the definitive metric utilized by forensic toxicologists to quantify the mass of ethanol present within a subject’s systemic circulation.

In the context of the Widmark Engine, a BAC of 0.08% is technically defined as 0.08 grams of alcohol for every 100 milliliters of blood.

Metabolic Methodology & Analysis

Forensic Analysis Note

This titration curve illustrates the standard physiological response to ethanol ingestion. The initial steep ascent represents the Absorption Phase. The subsequent linear decline demonstrates Zero-Order Elimination, where the liver metabolizes ethanol at a constant average rate.

The Peak Paradox: Spacing vs. Sobriety

A common metabolic misconception is that "spacing out" drinks deletes alcohol from your system. While pacing can lower your Peak BAC—potentially keeping you below the 0.08% threshold—it does not change the Total Metabolic Load.

Because the liver utilizes Zero-Order Elimination, it processes ethanol at a constant rate of ~0.015% per hour regardless of how the drinks were timed. Whether you consume 4 units in one hour or over four hours, your Clearance Point (the time you hit 0.000%) remains mathematically anchored to the total mass of ethanol consumed.
