The alcohol content of drinks depends on their strength and volume. Alcoholic beverages vary considerably in terms of strength and the volumes of the most commonly used containers. It is therefore important to apply the quantity of beverages to the units of volume that are most common and to take into account a person's average consumption of absolute alcohol per occasion.

The alcohol content of a single serving of alcohol can also be measured in terms of ethyl alcohol. This allows any amount of alcohol to be converted into grams. One milliliter of ethyl alcohol contains 0.79 grams of absolute (100%) alcohol.

For example:

1 can of beer (330 ml) at 5% strength x 0.79 (conversion factor) = 13 grams of absolute alcohol:

alcohol content= (330×5):100=16.5 g; quantity of absolute alcohol=16.5×0.79=13 g

1 glass of wine (140 ml) at 12% alcohol x 0,79 = 13,3 g of absolute alcohol:

alcohol content= (140×12):100=16.8 g;

absolute alcoholic strength=16,8×0,79=13,3 g

1 sip of spirit (40 ml) at 40% strength x 0,79 = 12,6 g of absolute alcohol:

alcohol content= (40×40):100=16.0 g;

quantity of absolute alcohol=16,0×0,79=12,6 g

The blood alcohol content is usually calculated using ppm. 0.5 per mille of alcohol means that there are 0.5 grams of alcohol per liter of body fluid. This section gives examples of how to calculate the approximate blood alcohol content.

Example 1. A man weighing 80 kg drinks 1 bottle of beer (330 ml) containing 5% alcohol. How many milliliters of alcohol are in his blood? To determine this, it is necessary to consider the fact that body fluids make up about 70% of the total body weight; in this case 56 kg. The beer drunk contains 13 grams of pure alcohol. Per 1 kg of body fluid there is, therefore:

13g/56kg = approx. 0.23 g

This means that per 1000 g of body fluid there are 0.23 g of pure alcohol or 0.23 per millilitre.

Example 2. A woman weighing 55 kg drinks 1 bottle of beer (330 ml) containing 5% alcohol. The calculation now looks slightly different. The fact is that, firstly, the woman's body mass is smaller and, secondly, the liquid in the woman's body is only about 60% of the total weight. In this case, it is 33 kg. So for every 1 kg of body fluid:

13g/33kg=0.39 g or 0.39 per millilitre.

So, for the same amount of alcohol drunk, a woman will have more alcohol in her blood than a man. Unfortunately, the number of milliliters can only be roughly calculated using this method. In reality, blood alcohol content is determined by a whole range of factors: body weight, gender, age, type and quantity of drink consumed, rate of alcohol absorption, drinking pattern…

Alcohol is thought to help you get rid of everyday problems, feel uplifted and cheerful, and boost your courage and self-confidence. It all depends on what you mean by "occasionally" and "having a drink".
A little alcohol won't harm you, it can cheer you up and even help. But if it's more than a small dose, and on a regular basis, drinking won't be as innocent as you imagine.

Alcohol is a psychoactive substance and drinking large doses, or even a little at a time, can cause problems, especially if it is used a lot and often. Prolonged alcohol consumption has irreversible consequences: a person's total dependence on alcohol with personality degradation, and damage to many organs and their systems.

Everyone is at risk. If you drink, alcohol affects you. If you drink little and rarely, the risk is small. But the more and more you drink, the greater the risk becomes. That's why it's important to watch your drinking habits: drink more carefully!

But there are cases in life when a person has overdosed his or her alcohol limit and becomes intoxicated, the degree of which depends on the dose, concentration, individual sensitivity, and general state of the body. Under the influence of alcohol, the body is poisoned by the breakdown products of alcohol (acetaldehyde) and the person's well-being deteriorates: incoordination; slower thinking; bad breath and vomiting; high blood pressure; irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa; and headache.

There is no miracle cure, but taking certain preparations can help.

We invented a food supplement called alco bye® that can help people with alcohol withdrawal.
The alco bye® food supplement can help to improve your overall well-being after drinking alcohol, rather than addressing individual symptoms. Unlike other products on the market, alco bye® interferes with the metabolism of alcohol: it speeds up the elimination (elimination) of alcohol.

With the help of alco bye®, a large number of alcohol drinkers can address their alcohol-related problems at home.
