BAC is a measure of the amount of alcohol present in your bloodstream and is expressed as a percentage that indicates the grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. For example, a BAC of 0.08% means there are 0.08 grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood. If you choose to drink, being able to estimate your BAC and its effects is crucial for making informed decisions about alcohol consumption, ensuring your safety and the safety of those around you. It is illegal to drive with a BAC of 0.08% or above in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. and illegal to drive with a BAC of 0.05% in Utah.
