- I will not launch into an explanation of alcohol content in your blood, as that’s pretty obvious when you drink alcohol, however, I would want to enlighten you on the dangers and problems that could be caused through high levels of blood alcohol content.
First of all, understand that drinking and driving is an invitation to imprisonment or even a hefty fine. Blood alcohol levels range from 0.2% up to 0.8% and getting yourself anywhere between these would define you as illegible to be driving and a probable occurrence of an accident. Most DUI state laws are very strict regarding the matter and if you happen to be driving around at a blood alcohol content of 0.8%, your in for big trouble.
How Do They Measure Blood Alcohol Content?
Now, if you’re new to these laws, don’t think that you can avoid having the test done right there and then after being stopped by a police car.
