It surprises me that although America has a huge stick up its collective ass when it comes to alcohol, the drink-driving laws are actually more lax than here. |

.08% in California. I know that because I paid attention in school! |

Originally posted by Arwon I can confirm the second for SA as well, and I will say that the first is the case nationwide. |

It's actually only 0.36% of the blood.
Or about .75 proof. Or about the same as most domestic American beers. |

Jeez, 0.36? That's over a quarter of your bloodstream filled with alcohol.  I can't imagine anyone driving competently at that point. |

.05 in Australia, pretty sure it's nationwide. NSW has zero tolerance for P-platers (provisional license-holders-have been driving for 3 years or less) I believe. |

I can't get over the image of someone nearly running their car off the road and looking quite ill when talking to the police officer... and only getting their license revoked instead of being arrested for potentially harming others. |

Quebec's limit is 0.08, I'm pretty sure that's the same across the country.
Correct. Living in Canada as well, this also applies to me. Wikipedia had South Korea's, which is really weird... basically you can get your license revoked if you're caught driving over the limit, but they won't arrest you unless you're at 0.30 or above on your first offense. GEEZ. It's actually 0.36. And it's funny too. Because at that point, you usually lose consciousness. Hell, 0.36 can potentially be a LETHAL dose, although heavy drinkers can tolerate much more than that. At least they won't get any resistance from the prepetrator.  |

AR is .08
IL is .08. I know that at one time it used to be .10 for IL, though. |

I'm guessing you mean how drunk can you be and still drive?
Is there a BAC for public intoxication? I never really gave that much thought. Originally posted by NSNick .02 is for a minor all-around though, not just to drive. If you have a .02 in your own home you're breaking the law. PS. I voted .08 |

0.2 promille here in Sweden.
That's 0.02 percent. |
| NSNick Posts: 1376/2228 |
Since I live in the States, .08
Or .02 if you're a minor. |
