Second only to New Year's Eve, Super Bowl Sunday is the second largest day for parties in in the United States.
Police officers across the state realize this and will be on high-alert this Sunday for drivers that are above the legal blood alcohol limit of .08.
You don't need me to tell you that it's never a good idea to have a drink and then get behind the wheel. But, should you chose to include alcohol in your Super Bowl celebrations this Sunday, you can use the 'Drink Wheel' below to estimate how many drinks it takes you to to get to the legal limit of .08.
(Or, if you've always wondered, here's your chance to get a general idea)
Just enter your information and then and hit the 'Estimate My Blood Alcohol' button and you'll get a reading via intox.com.
It would be extremely foolish for us to pretend that our "Drink Wheel" can tell you what your BAC actually is.
A person's actual BAC is dependent on many complex factors, including their physical condition (body composition, health etc...) and what they have recently ingested (including food, water, medications and other drugs).
The results that are generated are rough estimates of an average healthy person's BAC assuming typical beverage sizes, recipes and alcohol content. The BAC estimates generated by the Drink Wheel should not be used to infer anyone's fitness to work, drive or perform any other task or duty)
