According to the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General, a person is guilty of drunk driving if he or she operates a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood. However, even if a driver’s BAC is under the legal limit, the driver can still face conviction of driving while alcohol-impaired if driving in an unsafe manner because of alcohol consumption. Alcohol creates deficits in a person’s ability to operate a motor vehicle safely, and these deficits do not just begin when one’s BAC reaches 0.08. Rather, they begin with the first drink that someone takes.
