Law Offices of America
Our law firm tries to help you to the best of our abilities, although we are capable of providing national legal advice, there are many instances we choose to defer cases to our colleagues in the appropriate areas.
For example if you’ve been charged with a DUI in the city of Las Vegas, our general rule is for you to find a law firm in Las Vegas that can handle your DUI. Although DUI laws across the country are broad enough that many of the laws will apply from city to city and county to county, but the details differ from each location. For example almost every state has a BAC level of 0.08, although each state has the right to set their own alcohol limitations. However each state sets its own DMV laws and decides on what is appropriate for the citizens of that state. Furthermore if you’re working with local Las Vegas DUI Lawyers (see this link for the DUI lawyer we recommend in Las Vegas) for a DUI charge in Las Vegas, the lawyers in that area will have better understanding which judges to avoid and which judges will be most sympathetic to which arguments and personal situations, and the Las Vegas DUI Lawyer you hire will also have a personal sense of rapport that’s been established with the police department and prosecutors to help you if necessary. A local DUI attorney will always have a better understanding of all the circumstances and minor details surrounding your case and how to best defend you.
To reach a BAC level of 0.8 everybody has different body types and ability to consume alcohol will vary greatly from person to person, one of the common statistics of body weight to consumption of BAC levels is based on weight, although it’s not always the case this gives you an indication of the BAC levels according to weight.
If you’re a male and weigh
100 pounds after 2 drinks your BAC is over the legal limit at 0.087
120 pounds after 3 drinks your BAC is over the legal limit at 0.103
150 pounds after 3 drinks your BAC is over the legal limit at 0.087
175 pounds after 4 drinks your BAC is over the legal limit at 0.1
200 pounds after 4 drinks your BAC is over the legal limit at 0.087
225 pounds after 5 drinks your BAC is over the legal limit at 0.097
250 pounds after 5 drinks your BAC is over the legal limit at 0.087
As you can see the more you weigh the higher your tolerance to alcohol, but keep in mind these are based on estimates and everybody absorbs alcohol different and will be affected differently by alcohol.
