Facts about .08:

* At .08, all drivers are impaired to the point that critical driving skills are greatly diminished. Studies indicate that at a .08 BAC level, a driver?s steering, braking, speed control, lane changing, gear changing and judgments of speed and distance are all significantly impaired.

* To reach .08, a 170-pound male would have to consume four or more drinks in a one-hour period on an empty stomach. A 137-pound female would have to consume three drinks in one hour to reach .08. A drink is considered a 12-ounce beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine or a cocktail containing 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor.

* At .08, a driver is three times more likely to be involved in a car crash than a sober driver, and 11 times more likely to be killed in a single-vehicle crash.
