Many factors effect
your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) when you drink. Size, gender,
physical condition, what you eat, how much sleep you have had, are
you taking any medications, the actual alcohol content of your
chosen “drink” and more.
The following charts
are designed as a guide ONLY, various city, county, state laws will
have different penalties depending on blood alcohol concentration.
Insider Viewpoint of Las Vegas highly suggest you do not drink and
drive, use a designated driver if you are going to drink. Size
and gender difference are reflected in the following estimated
charts.
Nevada's new law
determines a person is impaired if their Blood Alcohol Concentration
level is .08 or higher. You will be arrested for .08 or higher BAC
