Is New York About To Lower The Drunk Driving Limit From .08 BAC to .05?

February 12, 2019  /  Marci Goldfarb

The legal limit for a New York driver’s blood alcohol level could drop from .08 to .05 under a bill recently proposed in the New York State Assembly. A .05 percent blood alcohol concentration, rather than .08, could save thousands of lives.

On average, it takes one to two drinks for a woman to hit a blood alcohol level of .05, and two to three drinks for most men.
