Question

The risk is ____________ times when driving with a BAC of .10 percent

Answer 1

The risk is 25 to 80 mg/dL, or 0.025 to 0.080 percent, times higher when driving with a BAC of 0.10 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The risk is 25 to 80 mg/dL, or 0.025 to 0.080 percent, times higher when driving with a BAC of 0.10 percent.

Alcohol intoxication is commonly measured using blood alcohol concentration (BAC). In most states, a BAC of 0.08 percent is the legal limit for driving while intoxicated. When the BAC is at 0.10 percent, the risk of accidents is increased as alcohol impairs judgment, reaction time, and coordination.

For example, if the risk of an accident is X at a BAC of 0.00 percent, it becomes 25 to 80 mg/dL times higher, or 0.025 to 0.080 percent times higher, at a BAC of 0.10 percent.
