Text

Alcohol content in blood is measured either as a percentage by mass or by mass per volume or a combination. For example, • BAC of 0.20% can mean 2 grams of alcohol per 1000 grams of an individual's blood, • Or it can mean 0.2 grams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. Permissible Blood Alcohol Limits while driving light motor vehicle (e.g. passenger car)
Common Carriers such as buses: In the United States operators of carriers such as buses are restricted to a 0.01% limit. |

Posted on: 10/17/2011 How does 30mg/100ml translate in terms of the amount of Alchohol that can be consumed by an individual and keep him within this safe limit. Will having a bottle of beer keep within this safe thresh hold. I know BAC depends on a lot of other factors...but I guess a safe limit can be arrived at in terms of bottles of beer.....or a CHOTA or a BADA peg.......Cheerio. |
