Research has shown that levels in the area of .05 percent impairs the driving ability of most individuals and that an .08 percent level should be defined as the legal limit for the "impaired" driver.
How many drinks does it take to reach the legal limit in Alaska?
There isn't a right answer to this question, there are many variables that contribute to an individuals BAC score. There are calculators and charts that can be used as references, however each individual has unique physical characteristics that contribute to a BAC score. In fact, it takes very little alcohol to become legally drunk and physical attributes such as weight, gender and body fat percentage can all be factors in the equation. The best answer is to have zero drinks before you drive, drinking and driving will cost you your freedom, lost wages, fines, and sr-22 insurance requirements.
