DUI Laws in the United States

Every state has different legal limits for driving under the influence. Blood alcohol content (BAC) typically becomes over the legal limit between 0.08-0.10 for adults over age 21, or between 0.01-0.02 for drivers under 21.

Consider that when you begin to relax after one or two drinks your BAC is at 0.03-0.059, when you start to feel really good you're at 0.06-0.1, slurred speech starts when BAC arrives at 0.11-0.2, followed by blackouts at 0.21-0.29, unconsciousness around 0.3-0.39, and finally death when your BAC reaches 0.4 or greater.
