Are the values in per cent or per mille (dunno how it's spelt in English)?

I think that's blood-alcohol level.

.08 in Arkansas. (EDIT: as in everywhere else: http://dui.findlaw.com/dui/dui_overview/dui_law.html)

I think that's blood-alcohol level.

And how do you convert this 'blood alcohol level' (never heard of it) in one of the above measure units?

Basically, percentage of alcohol in blood.

Thanks. Now that I know how to calculate these units, I can vote. Voted <0.08, 'cause 0.05 is the limit here.

Ok... this is now an international poll since doing it for just states is clearly pointless.

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.

.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

Quebec's limit is 0.08, I'm pretty sure that's the same across the country.

AR is .08
IL is .08.

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

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.

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.

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.

.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.
