Alcohol calculator

Uses the Japan case–control study heuristic (10 drink-years ≈ 5% higher overall cancer odds). Very simple and does NOT adjust for other potential factors. Study source: PubMed: 31814116.

Volume (mL)

ABV (%)

Ethanol density (g/mL)

Default 0.789 g/mL at ~20 °C.

Exposure duration (years)

Example: if you were drinking this drink the specified repeated drink frequency between the ages of 20 and 80, you'd enter 60.

Repeated drink frequency

daily weekly one time

Ethanol offset (g) (Use for adding)

Adds directly to the per-drink ethanol grams and risk logic.

Per-drink ethanol grams: —

Cumulative cancers risk increase for exposure duration: —

CYP2E1 note: Single-sitting intakes around ≥10–15 g ethanol can increase CYP2E1 activity, raising oxidative stress.
