How do I know my BAC?

The amount of alcohol one is able to consume before becoming unable to safely operate a vehicle varies from person to person. Because of this, you shouldn’t gauge your BAC level based on how many drinks you have had. Instead, watch for certain physical and mental factors that indicate a BAC level above the legal limit of 0.08%:

• Inability to balance
• Speech and vision impairment
• Decrease in reaction time
• Loss of good judgment
• Loss of self-control

Intoxicated individuals are generally unable to accurately judge their own physical state. It is suggested that a designated driver be chosen before you go out drinking.
