How Much is Too Much? – Our Driving Concern

There is no single answer to this question that applies to everyone.

Your gender, body weight, the number and types of drinks you’ve consumed, and the amount of food you’ve eaten all affect your body’s ability to process alcohol.
Women, young people and small people become impaired with small amounts of alcohol.
In Texas, drivers are legally intoxicated and can be arrested and charged with a DWI with a .08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Commercial drivers are legally intoxicated and can be arrested and charged with a DWI with a .04 blood alcohol concentration. However – driving ability can be impaired below the legal alcohol limit.
Even if a driver registers less than the legal limit, an arrest still can be made based on the observations of the officer during a roadside sobriety check.
