blood alcohol limit
Legal intoxication ceiling
Blood alcohol limit is the maximum concentration of alcohol permitted in a person's bloodstream while operating a vehicle or performing certain activities.
The standard legal limit for driving in most U.S. states is 0.08%, though stricter limits often apply to commercial drivers and minors.
Exceeding the limit constitutes a criminal offense: She was arrested for driving over the blood alcohol limit.
