Does Your Attorney Understand BAC Levels?

Blood Alcohol Level

Though popular opinion might suggest otherwise, it's not necessarily illegal to drink and drive. Provided you're of the legal drinking age, you simply cannot drink and drive drunk or intoxicated. That's where the term "blood alcohol level" comes into play: many people have different opinions about what constitutes intoxication or "drunkenness" and the blood alcohol level determines exactly how much alcohol you have in your system.

For instance, the state of Texas has determined that it is illegal to drive a car if your blood alcohol level is .08 or higher. To make things even more complicated, different people can take in different amounts of alcohol before they reach this limit. For example, a 160 pound man might be able to have two or three drinks without reaching the limit, whereas a 120 pound woman could find herself with a blood alcohol level of .08 after only one or two drinks.
