• DUI/DWI is a crime and when one is convicted of
such crime he is liable for heavy penalty including
revocation of license or imprisonment.
• One is charged with a DUI/DWI when he has a blood
alcohol content of at least .08.
What is Blood Alcohol Content?
• Blood alcohol content is
the concentration of alcohol in one's
bloodstream, expressed as a percentage.
• Blood alcohol content, or BAC, is used to
determine whether a person is legally
intoxicated, especially under a driving while
intoxicated law.
How Is Blood Alcohol Content
Measured?
• Blood alcohol content is measured by dividing
grams of alcohol by 100 millilitres of blood.
• This is then converted to a percentage, a BAC of
0.02% means 0.2% (permille) or 0.02 grams
of alcohol per 100 grams of individual's blood, or
0.2 grams of alcohol per 1000 grams of blood.
Blood Alcohol Content Limit
Each state has its own drunk driving laws. While the
blood alcohol content (BAC) levels are all .08, the
punishments vary.
The blood alcohol content limits are:• 0.08%- If you’re 21 years old or older.
• 0.04% -If you’re driving a commercial motor vehicle.
• 0.02% -If you’re younger than 21 years old.
