First you need to figure out how much alcohol is in the beer. A 12oz can of 5% beer contains 0.6oz of pure alcohol (12/0.05=0.6). You can then use the following formula to estimate your blood alcohol concentration.

%BAC = (A x 5.14/W x r) - .015 x H

A is the amount of alcohol you have consumed.

W is your weight in pounds.

r is the alcohol distribution ratio which for men is 0.73 and for women is 0.66.

H is the amount of time since you started drinking.

Keep in mind that you should never use this formula to figure your intoxication. The formula is a guide only, and your individual situation may cause your BAC to deviate from the amount you calculate using this formula. Don't drink and drive!
