BAC legal driving limits are the same for minors (under 21) as for adults. The only difference is that if you are under 21, in addition to being charged with a DUI or DWI you will also be charged for underage drinking. My suggestion to you is don't drink until you are 21, and always have a sober driver.
In Oregon you will be charged for DUI under 21 if you have ANY measurable amount of alcohol in your blood.
Any BAC over .000.

In Florida, the Zero Tolerance Law applies to drivers under the age of 21, and it stipulates that a person under 21 years old can be charged with DUI if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.02% or higher while operating a motor vehicle. This is a lower threshold compared to the standard 0.08% BAC limit for drivers over 21.
North Carolina is a zero-tolerance state for minors driving under the influence.
I assume you mean for a DUI. .08% if you're over 21. .02% if you're under 21.
In most states, if you are under 21, the legal blood alcohol level is 0.2. If you are 21 or over, the legal limit is 0.8.
The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for driving is typically 0.08% in most states in the United States. Driving with a BAC above this limit is illegal and can result in DUI (driving under the influence) charges. Commercial drivers and individuals under the legal drinking age may have lower BAC limits.
The legal alcohol limit when driving in Texas depends on a couple things. The legal alcohol limit is 0.08 BAC, if you are under 21 then the limit is set at 0.02 BAC and if you are a commercial driver then the limit is 0.04 BAC.
The driver will also pick up a Minor in Consumption charge. Other than that, the charges are the exact same as a driver over 21 who gets a DUI charge. However, any positive BAC if you are under 21 is an automatic DUI. .04 will get you the same charge as .08, (or 1.0 in some states) or higher if you are under 21.
- No one under the age of 21 is allowed to consume or posses alcohol. But interestingly you can taste (can't consume) an alcoholic beverage if it is required of a class in a postsecondary educational institution (college) but only if you're at least 18 years of age. It's illegal to drive a motor vehicle with a BAC of .02 or higher if under the age of 21. For anyone 21 years of age or older may not drive if they have a BAC of .08 or higher.
Yes, you can still be convicted of DUI even if your BAC is under 0.08 for a first offense. If your driving is impaired by alcohol or drugs to the point where you are unable to operate a vehicle safely, you can still be charged and convicted of DUI. The legal BAC limit of 0.08 is just one factor in determining impairment.
The maximum legal BAC for operating a vehicle is the same in Florida as in the rest of the U.S. (.08).
