Proposed NY Law Would Lower State Blood Alcohol Limit To .05

New York could become just the second state in the US to lower its legal blood alcohol limit to from .08 to .05 under a proposed new bill — a move its advocates say would save countless lives.

Fact: About 114 nations have lower limits than the US. Those nations have seen on average about an 11 percent reduction in alcohol related fatalities. That equates to saving about 25 lives per year in New York.

25 lives might not seem like much, unless that life is yours, or someone you love.

Don’t wait for the proposed bill. Do your part to drink responsibly.
