Blood Alcohol Content Chart
While we don't condone drinking and driving and do not wish to encourage it, we would like you to have all the information available so that you may make an informed decision before you have that next drink.
NOTE: If you are pulled over for a DWI offense and you refuse to take the breathalyzer test you will be charged with Chemical Test Refusal, liable for a $500 fine and the DMV will revoke your license for 1 year for a standard license and 18 months if you have a Commercial license.
If you are charged with an Alcohol Offense call us at (315)424-0744 and we can help you.

Remember! This is only an estimation based on an average metabolic rate. Differences in metabolic rates, gender, types of drinks, food in the stomach etc. can create substantial differences in your Blood Alcohol Levels. Also, there may be slight differences (.01 - .03) between the various BAC Charts available to you.
