  • What does it mean to be above the legal limit for drinking? The legal limit for drinking is the alcohol level above which an individual is subject to legal penalties (e.g., arrest or loss of a driver's license). Legal limits are measured using either a blood alcohol test or a breathalyzer. Legal limits are typically defined by state law, and may vary based on individual characteristics, such as age and occupation.
  • As little as one drink can cause a person to fail a breath test; in some state in the U.S., people who are under the age of 21 years old who are found to have any alcohol in their system can lose their driver's license, be subject to paying a hefty fine, or can even have their car taken away from them.
  • Alcohol can potentially damage every organ in your body, as it is absorbed directly into your bloodstream and can increase your risk for a variety of life-threatening diseases, including cancer.
  • A study of 1,872 teenagers and young adults aged 15 to 26 found that the number of ads a person reported viewing correlated with the amount of alcohol they consumed.
