Map of Europe showing countries' blood alcohol limits as defined in g/dl for the general population. Colour might be inaccurate for Cyprus in 2019. Note: Zero usually means below detection limit. Albania: 0.01% [81] Andorra: 0.05%; Austria: 0.05% [3] 0.01% for drivers who have held a license for less than two years and drivers of vehicles over ...
In the 1980s and '90s, a push to lower the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit for getting behind the wheel took the country by storm. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) was formed in 1980 ...
The BAC limits in Germany and many other countries were set based on this Grand Rapids study. Subsequent research showed that all extra collisions caused by alcohol were due to at least 0.06% BAC, 96% of them due to BAC above 0.08%, and 79% due to BAC above 0.12%. [ 19 ]
Map of Europe showing countries' blood alcohol limits (the "drink-drive" limit) as defined in g/dl (grams per decilitre). A decilitre is 100 millilitres, or one tenth of a litre. 10 mg/100ml is 0.1g/l is 0.01 g/dl. Figures for a fully qualified driver – some countries enforce lower limits for newly qualified and/or professional drivers.
Blood alcohol content (BAC), also called blood alcohol concentration or blood alcohol level, is a measurement of alcohol intoxication used for legal or medical purposes. [1] BAC is expressed as mass of alcohol per volume of blood. In US and many international publications, BAC levels are written as a percentage such as 0.08%, i.e. there is 0.8 ...

According to NHTSA, the 50 US states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico all have BAC limits of 0.08 g/dL or lower. In 2016, in the USA, 10,497 people were killed in crashes involving alcohol-impaired drivers; this represents 28 percent of all traffic-related fatalities. [6]
The tests were used in real-world conditions and reported as being able to determine intoxication above the then-effective blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of .10 grams per deciliter (g/dL) of blood. After some US states began lowering their legal BAC limits to .08 g/dL, other studies reported that the battery could also be used to ...
