Frequently asked questions

What is the legal BAC driving limit in the United States?

In 49 US states, the legal limit for drivers aged 21 and older is 0.08% BAC (Utah enforces 0.05% BAC). Drivers under 21 and commercial drivers are subject to strict zero-tolerance limits (0.00% to 0.04%).

How fast does the body metabolize alcohol?

The human body metabolizes alcohol at a steady rate of approximately 0.015% BAC per hour. Neither coffee, cold showers, nor food will accelerate hepatic alcohol metabolism.
