2) 0.05
3) 0.10

Answer 1

In New Jersey, individuals under the age of 21 are considered to be under the influence if their blood alcohol level is 0.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are under 21 in New Jersey, it is considered that you may be under the influence if your blood alcohol level is 0.01.

The Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is a measure of the level of alcohol in an individual's blood, expressed as a percentage. For those under the legal drinking age, which is 21 years old in the United States, many states have zero-tolerance laws. In New Jersey, this limit is very low—any detectable alcohol may result in penalties. Since alcohol intoxication can begin at BAC levels as low as 0.025%, which is just above the 0.01% limit for minors, driving with any detectable alcohol at a young age is highly discouraged and illegal.
