Under state law, any driver with a BAC of 0.08% or higher is considered legally intoxicated and can be arrested for drunk driving, regardless of his or her driving abilities. However, underage drivers, can be charged with DUI if a chemical test detects even a small amount of alcohol in their bloodstream—in other words, a BAC above 0.00%. Commercial drivers, on the other hand, are considered impaired with a BAC of 0.04% or higher.
