How do you convert mg dL to BAC?

Conversion unit: one millimole of ethanol per liter of blood is equal to 4.61 milligrams of ethanol per 100 milliliters of blood. To convert serum ethanol level to BAC, move the decimal point 3 places to the left. Example, a 100 mg/dL serum ethanol level is equivalent to a 0.10 (g/dL) BAC, or 0.10% (weight/volume).

What is the highest alcohol level before death?

At a blood alcohol level of 0.3% and higher, complete loss of consciousness may occur and a blood alcohol level of 0.5% and higher may even cause death (Table 1.2). Drinking excessive alcohol in one occasion may cause alcohol poisoning which if not treated promptly may be fatal.

0.4–0.5% (400–500 mg/dL)	Potentially fatal and a person may be comatose.
Above 0.5% (500 mg/dL)	Highly dangerous/fatal blood alcohol level.

How do I calculate blood alcohol level?

To calculate BAC, the amount of alcohol in the bloodstream is measured in milligrams (mg) of alcohol per 100 milliliters (ml) of blood. It is usually expressed as a decimal such as 0.08 or 0.15. For example, a BAC of 0.10 means that a person’s blood supply contains one part alcohol for every 1,000 parts blood.
