❓ FAQs – Jack Daniels Calculator

1. What’s a standard drink?
A standard drink in the U.S. contains 14 grams of pure alcohol, which is about 1.5 oz of 40% whiskey.

2. How accurate is the BAC estimate?
It uses the Widmark formula and assumes an average alcohol distribution ratio. For legal purposes, always use certified breathalyzers or seek professional testing.

3. Does this work with other liquors?
Technically yes, but it’s optimized specifically for Jack Daniels products. Alcohol percentage and cost vary with other brands.

4. What’s the best bottle size for 5 people over 3 hours?
If drinking moderately (1 drink/hour), one 750ml bottle is often enough.

5. Can I input 0 for the mixer ratio?
Yes. If you’re drinking whiskey neat or on the rocks, set the ratio to 0.

6. How is price calculated?
Prices are based on estimated cost per ml for each type. Real prices may vary by store and region.

7. What’s the legal BAC limit for driving?
In most U.S. states, it’s 0.08%. The calculator will alert you if you’re projected to exceed this.

8. Why is weight important for BAC?
Heavier people generally have more water in their body, which dilutes alcohol, resulting in lower BAC.

9. What if some guests drink less?
Use the average estimate. To be safe, round up the number of bottles slightly.

10. Can I plan multiple types of Jack Daniels?
Not simultaneously in the same calculation. For different types, run the calculator multiple times.

11. Is it safe to mix whiskey with soda?
Yes, in moderation. Soda, ginger ale, or juice are common mixers—but monitor sugar and caffeine intake.

12. Is this tool mobile-friendly?
Yes, the tool works well on phones and tablets.

13. Is it possible to overestimate my needs?
Yes. If unsure, slightly underestimate and plan to have non-alcoholic options or wine/beer as backup.

14. What happens if I don’t include weight?
The calculator assumes a default average of 70kg for BAC estimates.

15. Is it safe to drink 6 drinks over 4 hours?
It may be okay for some, but everyone processes alcohol differently. Always drink responsibly.

16. Does the tool adjust for gender differences in BAC?
No. It uses an average alcohol distribution ratio (0.6), balancing between male and female physiology.

17. Can I save or print results?
You can screenshot or copy the results. Future versions may include email/export options.

18. Are mixers included in the cost?
No, only Jack Daniels cost is estimated. Mixer costs vary greatly.

19. What if the bottle size I want isn’t listed?
Choose the closest available size, or divide your own bottle volume manually by standard drink estimates.

20. Is there a version for bars or larger events?
While this is designed for small gatherings, scaling up is simple—just increase drinkers or hours accordingly.
