Know the Limits WHEN YOU ARE ARRESTED

Frequently clients express surprise that the alcohol they consumed resulted in a blood alcohol content higher than they had believed possible.

The charts below give approximate blood alcohol content (BAC) based upon sex, weight and number of drinks consumed. It is an approximation only and other variables can effect the actual BAC. Just because BAC is believed to be (or actually is) within statutory limits does not make it proper to drive after consuming alcohol. One drink is too many to chance driving a motor vehicle. NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE!
