What Does A Blood Alcohol (ethanol) Level Of 24 Mg/dl Mean?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    It means 24 milligrams of ethanol per deciliter of blood.  (A deciliter is 1/10th of a liter).    It is the equivalent of a .024 BAC - below the legal limit in USA and probably you would describe this person as maybe slightly "buzzed" or feeling some pleasant feelings, but still legally able to drive a car.

    Usually we see in the US these levels of intoxication measured  as Blood Alcohol content (BAC) in grams per milliliter) - as in:  0.01% to 0.05% - Mild sense of elation, relaxation, and pleasure, probably a decrease in judgment and inhibitions.

    The other levels are:
    0.06 to 0.10 - Reduced ability to make
    rational decisions or exercise good judgment.
    0.10 to 0.15 - Slurred speech,
    impairment of balance and movement.
    0.16 to 0.29 - Severe motor and sensory
    impairment, reduced awareness of external stimulation.
    0.30 to 0.39 - Non-responsive stupor, loss of consciousness, possible death  
    0.40 & over  - Unconsciousness, cessation of breathing, death

    most states in the US define a person with a BAC of 0.08 to 0.10 as legally intoxicated.
