.08 BAC

Sounds like breathalyzer testing not actually reflecting true BAC is the problem more than the limit. That is the problem with all the numbers being thrown around here.... are they actual BAC's, or breathalyzer readings. What is the Difference Between a Breathalyzer and Blood BAC Test?

Back when I drank I bought a decent breathalyzer. It was entertaining to sit around and experiment. I weighed about 235. What I found is that I was very happy and quasi-functional at .08 to about .12. More than that was a cluster*. I could barely feel the effects at .04. It took about 3 quick bottles of Heineken to get to .04. Two more bottles and I saw .08. Interestingly, drinking a glass of water before blowing about halved the BAC reading.
