Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) - Know your limit... use this BAC Calculator provided by Alcohol Addiction Center
- Blood alcohol concentration is how the amount of alcohol present in an individual's bloodstream is measured. For example, someone with a BAC of .20% means that their bloodstream contains 2 parts alcohol for every 1,000 parts blood.
- A BAC limit of 0.08% is the legal limit in all 50 states with Mississippi having a "zero tolerance" level for underage drinking of 0.02%.
- Use this BAC Calculator provided by the Alcohol Addiction Center to help you make smart decisions when or if you do decide to consume alcohol.
