It depends on your sex, weight, and TIME! The interlock works off BAC, if u have an interlock you know what this is, if not its blood alcohol content. Most interlocks can read a BAC level of .02 or less! Through personal experience I have found that 1 beer per hour is safe!

How is the Ignition Interlock Device connected?

An Ignition Interlock Device (IID) is larger than a cell phone and is wired to your vehicle's ignition. A standard Igntion Interlock has four main cables. The 12 Volt, Igntion Hot, Starter and Ground in order ot operate correctly. You have to have direct 12 volt, and solid ground, then you interrupt the starter wire and connect the interlock starter kill to that, and last is the ignition run, so when you turn the key it activates the Interlock. How it installs varies from car to car, but basically it disables your key from reaching the engine. The device prevents the engine from being started if the breath alcohol concentration is too high. It needs to be installed by a state certified installer along with a lot of official paper work, so it is not a do it yourself thing. More importantly, criminal sanctions exist for circumventing or tampering with an Ignition Interlock Device. In Arizona, QuickStart Ignition Interlock AZ is one.
