What is the legal limit for drunk driving in milliliters?
2 Answers
The legal limit for drunk driving is 100 milliliters. The standard for drinking and driving is greater than or equal to 20 milligrams per 100 milliliters but less than 80 milligrams per 100 milliliters. The standard for drunk driving is greater than or equal to 80 milligrams per 100 milliliters. If the alcohol content in every 100 milliliters of blood is between 20 to 79 milligrams, it is considered driving after drinking. If the alcohol content reaches 80 milligrams or more, it is considered drunk driving. Drunk driving, also known as driving under the influence, refers to operating and controlling a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or alcoholic beverages. Drunk driving can impair safe driving abilities and significantly increase the risk of accidents. In criminal law, it is considered a category of conscious negligence, meaning the person foresaw the possibility of the event occurring but believed it would not happen and took no precautions.
Last time I went out for a social event and had a little alcohol while driving. On my way back, I encountered traffic police conducting a breathalyzer test for drunk driving. The standard is that an alcohol content in the blood exceeding 20 milligrams per 100 milliliters is considered drunk driving, and reaching 80 or above directly qualifies as severe drunk driving, which is even more dangerous. I’ve tested myself before—just one bottle of beer might put me over the limit because alcohol is absorbed quickly, slowing down reactions while driving and increasing the risk of collisions or rear-end accidents. My advice is not to touch the steering wheel after drinking. Instead, spend a few dozen bucks on a ride-hailing platform—it’s much better than facing thousands in fines and losing points. Safety comes first; don’t gamble with luck.
