Are you under the influence?
Blood alcohol calculator
Check out the drink wheel. Massachusetts presumes that you are impaired if your blood alcohol level (BAC) is a .08 or above. The drink wheel was developed by Intoximeters, Inc. to demonstrate the affect of drinking on BAC. The drink wheel is for educational purposes only. Do not rely on it when making a decision to operate a motor vehicle. As always, the best advice is to not drink and drive.
