According to the National Highway Traffic Safety, during 2008, over 65 percent of fatal drunk-driving deaths involve drivers whose blood alcohol concentration is over the legal limit in their state.
In the past three years, Denver had a 50 percent increase in children between 12 and 17 checking into the ER with injuries from binge drinking, from 644 estimated visits to 778.
Each state has its own legal definition for alcohol intoxication. Intoxication is defined by blood alcohol concentration. The maximum legal limit usually falls between 0.08 and 0.10 in most states.
