Pennsylvania has set .08% BAC as the legal limit for a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) conviction. Schoolbus and Commercial Drivers may be convicted of a DUI nationwide with a BAC level of .05%, if there is supporting evidence of driving.

Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is the amount of alcohol in the bloodstream.

A BAC of .05 means the person has .05 grams of alcohol in every 100 mL of their blood.

As the liver metabolizes alcohol at about one standard drink per hour, the BAC level drops unless more alcohol is consumed. BAC is measured with a breathalyzer, or by analyzing a sample of blood.

Factors affecting your BAC The more a person drinks, the higher their BAC. But 2 people who drink the same amount might register quite different BACs.

Body fat: People with a lot of body fat tend to have higher BACs because alcohol is not absorbed into fatty tissue and the alcohol is concentrated in a smaller body mass.
