Below is a list of alleged public drunks or drunk drivers from the sports world. If you are aware of any that aren't listed here please and be sure to put "BAC Rankings" in the subject line. Before you dash off that e-mail message though, we have established several guidelines to be part of this ranking; 

1. The person must be a national athlete, coach or affiliated in some way with sports.
2. Reported BAC levels must be able to be verified in a legitimate news source. Current website links are preferred.
3. No minors, please. (That's under 18, even though the legal drinking age is 21.)
4. Contestants must not have killed or seriously injured themselves, or others, in the process.

The Official BadJocks "How Many Drinks Did They Have?" Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Estimator

Okay, so Joe Superstar gets pulled over for a DUI and blows a .22% on the breathalyzer. What exactly does that mean? Is there any way to tell if they had just one drink or a whole keg? The chart below gives you an estimated percent of alcohol in the blood by number of drinks in relation to body weight. This percent can be estimated by:

1. Locate the perpetrator's estimated body weight in the first column on the left.

2. Follow across to the left until you find the BAC the cops say they blew. 

3. Follow that column back up to the top row to see how many drinks they would have had to consume in an hour to achieve that BAC. (Remember: 1 drink equals 1 ounce of 100-proof liquor, one five ounce glass of table wine or one 12-ounce bottle of regular beer) 

4. And you're done! Wasn't that fun?
