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.

I assume you mean for a DUI. .08% if you're over 21. .02% if you're under 21.

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.
.08 is considered the legal limit for intoxication, so a DUI charge will not be applied. However, if you are over 21, any BAC over .02 can lead to a DUI charge.
The legal BAC limit in California for a class C adult (over 21) driver's license is: 0.08%
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.

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.
In New Jersey, a person is guilty of drunk driving if he/ she operates a motor vehicle with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or greater. BAC refers to the amount of alcohol in your blood. Although the law refers to a 0.08 percent BAC, you can be convicted of driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor even when your BAC is below 0.08 percent. Consuming even small amounts of alcohol dulls the senses, decreases reaction time, and hampers judgement, vision and alertness. If you consume any amount of alcohol and your driving is negatively impacted, you can be convicted of drunk driving. If you are under the age of 21 you will be convicted if you have any detectactable alcohol (over 0.01 BAC)
