    There is no maximum. The minimum is .08.

    f your blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08% or higher, you are legally drunk and it is illegal for you to drive. However, if you are driving with a BAC between 0.05 and 0.08, you may still be cited for a DUI if your behavior suggests you are impaired. This is at the discretion of the officer citing you. Even with a BAC of just 0.06, you double your chance of being involved in a fatal accident.

    Unlike being cited for driving with a BAC of 0.08 or above, BACs between 0.05 and 0.08 do not trigger the Statutory Summary Suspension detailed below; the penalties are instead entirely based on the outcome of the court case.
    Statutory Summary Suspension

    If an officer pulls you over for a moving violation and then determines that your BAC is 0.08 or more, the officer will immediately suspend your license for 90 days. You will be given a receipt that will allow you to continue driving (after your arrest, time to dry out in jail, bail, and arraignment) and allow you time to fight the arrest and suspension. On the 46th day after your arrest, the suspension snaps into effect.

    If you are convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, your license will be suspended for one year for the first offense (two years if you’re under 21)
