All 50 states have now set 0.08% blood alcohol concentration (BAC) as the legal limit for driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while impaired (DWI). For commercial drivers, a BAC of 0.04% can result in a DWI or DUI conviction nationwide. For those under 21 years of age, there is a zero tolerance limit. Even the smallest amount of alcohol is grounds for a DWI or DUI arrest.
