ALCOHOL IMPAIRMENT CHART
CHART IS INTENDED AS A GUIDE, NOT A GUARANTEE.
Alcohol affects individuals differently. You blood alcohol level may be affected by your age, gender, physical condition, amount of food consumed and any drugs or medication. In addition, different drinks may contain different amounts of alcohol, so it's important to know how much and the concentration of alcohol you consume.
For purposes of this guide, "one drink" is equal to:
1.5 oz. of 80 proof liquor
12 oz. of regular beer or
5 oz. of table wine
A woman drinking an equal amount of alcohol in the same period of time as a man of an equivalent weight may have a higher blood alcohol level than that man. Therefore, women should note the differences between the male and female versions of the charts below.
In Pennsylvania, a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level of .10% or greater is all that is necessary to be convicted of Driving Under the Influence (DUI). You may be convicted of DUI at .05% and above if there is supportig evidence of driving impairment.
Some states have set .08% BAC as the legal limit. For commercial drivers, a BAC of .04% can result in a DUI conviction nationwide.
IMPAIRMENT BEGINS WITH YOUR FIRST DRINK.
