The legal system bases a DUI (driving under the influence) on tests for blood alcohol concentration (BAC). A BAC of .08% is the level at which driving abilities become impaired. At this level, fundamental driving skills, such as the ability to brake, steer, control speed, change lanes, judge speed and distance as well as shift gears, diminish. Statistics show that the odds are three times greater for car accidents when drivers have a BAC at .08. Chances of being killed in a single vehicle car accident are eleven times greater when the BAC is .08.

​

To give you an idea of how many alcoholic beverages one would have to drink to arrive at a .08% BAC, here are some examples:

•170 lb. male – 4 or more drinks in one hour on an empty stomach
•137 lb. female – 3 or more drinks in one hour on an empty stomach

​
