Blood alcohol content (BAC) is a measure of the amount of alcohol circulating in your bloodstream. It is expressed in terms of weight (milligrams) per unit of volume (milliliters) and is usually shown as a percentage. Blood alcohol content is used for legal and medical purposes to indicate a person's level of intoxication. In all 50 states and the District of Columbia, the legal limit for driving under the influence of alcohol is 0.08. Commercial drivers have a limit of 0.04. Any detectable blood alcohol content is a violation for persons under the age of 21.

Blood Alcohol Content

Blood alcohol content is the amount of alcohol present in a volume of blood equal to 100 milliliters (ml) or its equivalent of 1 deciliter (dl). For example:

• 80 mg is 0.08 grams.
• 0.08 grams of alcohol in 100 ml is 0.08 percent
• This can also be expressed as 80 mg/dl or a BAC of 0.08

In the United States, a blood-alcohol content of 0.1 (0.1 percent or one-tenth of one percent) means that there are 0.10 grams of alcohol for every deciliter of blood in the person's body at the time of the test.
