This chart is intended as a guide,
not a guarantee.
Alcohol affects individuals
differently. Your 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 1.25 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 refer to the female "Know Your Limits" chart.
Some states have set .08% Blood
Alcohol Concentration (BAC) as the legal limit for Driving Under the
Influence while others are .10%. For commercial drivers, a BAC of .04%
can result in a DUI conviction nationwide.
