Impaired Driving
The legal limit for impaired driving in all 50 states is .08% Blood Alcohol Content (BAC). However, an individual can be prosecuted having a lesser blood alcohol content if it can be proven that the driver was impaired while driving. If the driver's BAC is .08% or higher, then by default the driver is considered to be impaired.NCSL: State .08 BAC Laws
