What is the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers over 21 in Florida?

In Florida, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers who are 21 years of age and older is 0.08%. This threshold is established to ensure that drivers operate their vehicles safely and responsibly. At or above this limit, individuals are considered impaired and can face legal consequences such as fines, license suspension, and possible arrest for driving under the influence (DUI).

While there are lower BAC limits for specific groups—such as commercial drivers, whose legal limit is 0.04%, and zero-tolerance laws for drivers under 21 who are not allowed any measurable alcohol—0.08% is the standard limit for most adult drivers. This law serves as a guideline to help maintain road safety and reduce accidents related to alcohol consumption.
