Did You Know?

BAC blood alcohol content legal limit - in the United States is commonly 0.08 (i.e., 80 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood). Some states include a lesser charge - often known as driving while impaired - at a BAC of, say, 0.05 or above but less than the legal limit for the more serious charge.
No contest plea - a plea of nolo contendere means that the defendant does not admit the charge, but does not dispute it either. This is also called a plea of no contest or, more informally, a nolo plea.
Breathalyzer Myths - a common myth is that breath testers can be fooled (to make one's blood alcohol content appear lower) by using certain substances. An episode of the Discovery Channel's MythBusters tested substances usually recommended in this practice -- such as breath mints, mouthwash, and onion -- and found them to be ineffective. Adding an odor to mask the smell of alcohol might fool a person, but does not change the actual alcohol concentration in the body or on the breath.
Alcohol tolerance - refers to a decreased response to the effects of ethanol in alcoholic beverages. This reduced sensitivity requires that higher quantities of alcohol be consumed in order to achieve the same effects as before tolerance began to occur.
Alcoholism - a dependency on alcoholic beverages characterized by craving (a strong need to drink), loss of control (being unable to stop drinking despite a desire to do so), physical dependence, tolerance (increasing difficulty of becoming drunk) and withdrawal symptoms.
