Drunk driving is defined as when a driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) is equal to or greater than 20 milligrams per 100 milliliters but less than 80 milligrams per 100 milliliters. Drunken driving: Drunken driving is defined as when a driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) is equal to or greater than 80 milligrams per 100 milliliters. Considering the differences in metabolic rates among individuals, if a large amount of alcohol is consumed in one sitting, it is advisable to wait at least 24 hours before driving. Penalties for drunk driving: For drunk driving, the driver's license will be suspended for 6 months and a fine will be imposed. If the driver has previously been penalized for drunk driving and is caught again, they will face up to 10 days of detention, a fine, and revocation of their driver's license. Drunk driving a commercial vehicle results in 15 days of detention, a fine, revocation of the driver's license, and a 5-year ban from obtaining a new license. If drunk or drunken driving leads to a major traffic accident that constitutes a crime, the driver will face criminal liability, revocation of their driver's license, and a lifetime ban from obtaining a new license.
